“If the universe is ever-expanding, then so too is human consciousness.” - Steve Anwar
Steve Anwar AKA Sapien presents Holes in an Expanding Mind, an exhibition of new sculptural work that reflects on his personal journey of illness, recovery and transformation.
The work aims to reveal hidden layers of the human experience, encouraging visitors to think about time, consciousness, trauma, personal development, and balance.
Taking inspiration from Sufi poetry, Taoist wisdom and meditative practices, each steel sculpture was developed alongside a new poem. Anwar feels this experimental approach enables greater dialogue between mind and material in his making process, and each of the sculptures contains textual elements in reference to this.
The new sculptures are accompanied by various maquettes, giving additional insight into the way the artist works and how his sculptures come to be.
The exhibition was made possible by funding from Arts Council England.
