Delirious 1996

Curator: Siobhán Hapaska, born in 1963, crafted this curious piece, "Delirious." It's quite the juxtaposition of materials and forms, wouldn't you agree? Editor: Intriguing. The rough timber bracing a smooth, almost liquid form… It feels unsettling, like a dream warped by anxiety. Curator: Exactly! Hapaska’s sculptures often play with that tension. The slickness against the raw suggests a struggle between nature and technology, maybe? Editor: Perhaps, but it also hints at confinement—those metal protrusions feel vaguely threatening, pinning down the fluid form. Like an experiment gone awry. Curator: Hmm, yes, a beautiful accident, maybe. It’s about finding the beauty in places where things don't feel natural, right? I'm not sure I like it! Editor: Well, whether you like it or not, it has certainly left an impression. Curator: Definitely.
