Kendell Geers' Flesh of the Spirit 92, explores topics of cultural duality and identity. Influenced by both African and European aesthetics, the mask embodies the intersection of diverse influences. The title, a clever play on Robert Farris Thompson's Flash of the Spirit, adds depth to Geers' politically charged approach. Sculpted from bronze with a lighter tone at the centre, Geers weaves cultural identities into the material to create a powerful visual dialogue laden with history.
