Caroline van
der Merwe started her career as a sculptress in the 60’s carving
simple bird and fish forms much influenced Brancusi.
Later she starts using the male figures with their strong muscles and
tendons. The work became more figurative and she started to bind the figures
with bindings that came from within the figure, to crucify with the figure
and crossforming a single unite, and to constrain and confine the figure
in many different ways.
