Auckland-based Greer Twiss is one of New Zealand’s most senior sculptors, who also made a very significant impact on generations of artists through his tertiary teaching over three decades. For SCAPE Season 2016 Presence, a selection of works in bronze, galvanized steel and lead spanning the years 1965 to 1990 were presented. Smaller cast bronze works depicting athletes in motion, and protest figures engaged in marching and congregating were shown. Large floor-based works invited viewers to consider the ambiguity of manmade objects and the traces of human interaction.
