Raphael Danke

Each of the sculptures are titled 'Subject' and link to ideas behind the drawings in the previous room - subjects becoming objects and vice versa. Through reattaching the existing legs Danke anthropomorphizes these static forms, animating them into objects charged with physical and spiritual potential. Danke cites the influence of Freud’s Dream Theory and spiritual architecture on this latest body of work. The way dreams are compartmentalized into architectural forms (rooms) and buildings are built with spiritual principles in mind. In this installation figures appear as furnishings with objects taking on distinctly human auras.
