Wooden Sculptures

Wooden sculptures of a hand by Paul Kaptein

By sampling various cultural and temporal trajectories, I’m exploring the notion of the now as a remix of past and future potentialities. This facilitates a renegotiation of perceptual truths resulting in an expression of things not quite truth, yet not quite fiction.

Central to this is the underlying theory of emptiness (sunyata). Often considered a void, Sunyata offers endless possibility.
