laser-cut, welded, weathered steel
96” x 96” x 480”
Provenance:
13th Street Winery Permanent Collection since 2015
Literature:
The original installation included a pack of five wolves in welded steel pursuing a buck. The first limited edition of 5 was installed at 13th Street Winery in November of 2015 and the owners chose not to install the buck; they felt the pack of wolves on a hunt was a strong enough imagery.
This work by Ken Hall explores the intersection of nature and culture, The Hunt examines the discord between our primal instincts and social expectations. By capturing a sense of realism in this work, Hall plays on our natural fight or flight response. The Hunt was awarded the prestigious Reed Cooper Bursary for Visual Arts.
