We cannot escape the inevitable. Acquitted but guilty: Innocence lost, represents this internal postman that grinds us to a halt. Our inner voice can be temporarily subdued, but it will not remain as incubated potential, nor will it wither away into obscurity. Its nature is to be on the move, & when a critical limit of inhibition of this motion is reached, it retaliates & makes itself known. It is the voice that confronts us to contemplate & weigh the consequences, the gains & losses, of our choices. When I was asked whether I would create a piece that represents this internal landscape, I responded I will think of those words, but taking into account that I do spontaneous sculpting, I have no idea what will come into being. And this was the result.
