Bush House Museum is proud to present The Key & The Towers by brothers Santigie and Sapata Fofana-Dura in the Waldo Bogle Gallery this summer. The exhibition features three new sculptures created from found wood and metal. Each piece is finished with a deep intensional burning process, leaving a velvet black surface on the work. In addition, there will be an accompanying performance by Santigie titled “The Door” happening inside the gallery.
Sapata and Santigie design and build architectural sculpture that hinges around the storyteller. The artists create work imbued with a rugged elegance as they exclusively construct their work with abandoned timber salvaged from the Pacific Northwest. Through a dynamic of contemporary and craft inspired construction methods the artists create work with the intention to tell new stories with a classic style. Santigie.com
