'Gebedswolke iii (prayer cloud)' is an installation made up of charms, wire and metallic disks suspended from the ceiling, representing an ethereal constellation of floating forms and a continuation of a motif (the cloud) that South African artist Igshaan Adams has worked with over the past ten years, initially as scribbles and later as installations, including some made from dust.
A few years ago, I climbed over a gate and found myself gazing down at a valley. After I'd been walking for a few minutes, looking at the fields and the sky, there was a shift in my perception. Everything around me became intensely real. The fields and the bushes and trees and the clouds seemed more vivid, more intricate and beautiful.
