Verity, Faith and Justice. 2006
Mixed media installation

The aura of legal sternness still presides in the former court room with its authentic furniture and was subsequently used by the artist in her installation. She displays a new constellation of several antropomorphic sculptures, some taken from former installations of hers and modified to suite the austere ambience of the space, some created specifically for this work. Thus, she creates an eerie contemplation of law, justice and the various interpretations of truth, depending on which power interests need to be served.
