My artwork deals with the experience and concept of 'mystery' - mystery that inspires awe - and sometimes fear - and that is located beyond the known. The sublime is one area where I experience mystery intensely. Immanuel Kant, an important philosopher of the Enlightenment, proposes that one can and should contain the sublime with reason, and in the process elevate it to an objective, universal and rational truth. My response to, and understanding of, the sublime differs from that of Kant: I do not attempt in any way to contain the sublime. In my work, I wish only to express my relationship to it, and to experience it as a personal, intimate and emotional truth. 2015-01-06T12:09:30Z 2015-01-06T12:09:30Z 2006 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11565 eng application/pdf Michaelis School of Fine Art Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
