WORLD CAUSES
Most of the sculptures of Stephen VInce should be in this section because they are always made for a reason, or for a Cause. Life Confronted An exhibition at the Visual Arts Centre of the Hongkong museum in 1992. It included sculptures and art works that referred to Deforestation, the Ozone layer, Endangered Species, Endangered Peoples and many other related issues. A book was published and is due to be republished together with a film. Bushmen A group of sculptures in honour and sadness for the Bushmen of Southern Africa who had lived in natural harmony with the land and other animals occupying it. That was until the Bantu arrived from the north and then the Dutch and English by sea. The Spirits of the Yellow Leaves An early peoples who had lived in South East Asia hidden in the forests. That was until loggers removed every tree. That was the end of every tree and the end of these peoples. |
