Quotes My work is never planned, one piece informs the next. For this reason I am using work which I have created as proposed pieces adriaan-diedericks, www.artsy.net a conviction of the remoteness of the past, and a desire to redeem it for the present adriaan-diedericks-allegorical-elegies, www.vip.uitstalling.com Practically my work mostly manifests from objects and materials found within my surroundings such as scraps of rotten wood. I find the dry rot wood due to excess water seeping into the center quite symbolic. I use this in correlation to the Foucaultian theory of “Knowledge is Power” and “absolute power corrupts absolutely”, in the same way the water corrupts the wood over time. My work has an organic approach, one piece informs the next. Therefore my work acts as proposed pieces rather than final destinations adriaan-diedericks-sculpture, dossiermag.net External links Category:1990 births Category:Living people Category:Artists from South Africa Category:Sculptors from South Africa
