Nike Cave’s creativity is as abundant as the flowers spilling over this bronze cast of an arm. He looks at the world with appreciation and awe. Dedicated to the practice of merging art with communities of people, his work always relates to – in some way – the body. Made famous by his sound suits and the performances that took place with them, his non-wearable sculptural work is about the dissection of the ideas within the sound suits. Here he explores the form of the arm and its relationship with the cascading wall of flowers and metal. Can something static still relate to the body? Can something static still have movement?
