    Ashraf Jamal, a senior lecturer in the Fine Art Department opened MFA student Beth Armstrong’s exhibition commending her as one of South African art’s bright young things whose work represents a “seismic crack in sculpture as we know it”.

    The title of her body of work, Hippocampus, is Latin for seahorse as well as a part of the mammalian brain. Our
    hippocampus creates maps in our imagined realities, letting us know where we are and where we are going.

    In
    playing with space Armstrong questions our need to transform everything we see into something we can recognise and understand.

    The sculptures cast shadows which are transformed into sculptures themselves, which cast yet more shadows the two-dimensional is the three dimensional and vice versa. Hippocampus will travel to the iArt Gallery in Cape Town later this year.
