"Body Sculpture is the third in Wolfson's series of animatronic sculptures, which have become defining works of the past decade. Each has pushed the boundaries of what we expect from a work of art, combining performance, sculpture, robotics and sound to create compelling and unsettling experiences. Body Sculpture takes this experience further in terms of scale, duration and complexity. Fusing abstraction and figuration, the work explores the potential of sculpture as an object in space. Its interacting robotic elements perform an intricate choreography that questions the intersection between human and machine, between embodiment and symbolism, and between object and viewer. It is the first work by Wolfson to enter an Australian collection, and we are proud to present it for the first time here in Kamberri/Canberra." -- Page 5.
