80 62 Deborah Bell SOUTH AFRICAN 1957– Crossing I, Forgotten Gods signed, dated 2004 and inscribed ‘Forgotten Gods’ mixed media on paper 160 by 120 cm R250 000 – 350 000 ITEM NOTES ‘Space of crossing: We exist at the point of crossing, with infinite space expanding beyond in both directions. Infinity extends both in and out. The smaller we go on the quantum scale and beyond, the larger and more infinite the space becomes. Our bodies are like the skin between the two: the inner is our spiritual heritage, while we project our reality onto the outer space.’ Pippa Stein.
