86 Divinity Figures is a month-long project. This series of performative accumulative acts, involving the creation and destruction of identical divinity figures, calls forth the artist’s investigation into his personal family history of 86 generations. Through the action of making and destroying, this project generates questions of renewal, ancestral lineage and the desire to break from the past, while always being constrained and re-incorporated by our genealogy.
