Tim Noble and Sue Webster "Kiss of Death"
Fred Ederkins "Holy Spirits Come Home"Recycling in the form of meticulously crafted sculptures; they create profound juxtapositions of images with piles of trash, (or in the case of "Kiss of Death," animal corpses). The first work says something about the dark side of humanity, both in terms of the physical harm it imposes on the environment through its waste, and the willful violence that is sometimes necessary for human survival. "Holy Spirits Come Home" positions immaterial light in the form of a spiritual message against identifiable packages for commodities (the rest of the message is on the other side), which comes off as a comment on consumerism.
