Ngena eCrawford Art Igalari kunye nentaba ye-staircase yenkulungwane yeshumi elinesithoba, ude ufikelele kwi-Gibson Galleries efakwe ngamaplanga amnyama kumgangatho wokuqala. Apho, ume umlindi, nguCorban Walker njenge Indoda yeTV (2010) - isikrini se-intshi engama-65 kunye nofakelo lwevidiyo ye-animated yegcisa elinobomi, elifakwe kwikhreyithi yeplywood. Amehlo e-gimlet abambe amehlo akho, kwaye uyaqonda ukuba ungena kwihlabathi le-'Corban-scale'. U-Walker uphuhlise i-metric – eyakhe ireyishini yegolide ejikeleze umlinganiselo weenyawo ezine (ubude bakhe) endaweni yobude obuqhelekileyo bendoda obuziimitha ezintandathu. Ngaloo ndlela, ucela umngeni kwintsebenziswano yombukeli kunye nokuxabisa umsebenzi wakhe.
Into ecacileyo kwi-plinth ye-mirrored ephantsi ilawula umgangatho wegumbi lokuqala. I-cuboid, i-architectural and delicate, yenziwe ngokuqinileyo ngokuphindaphinda ipateni yegridi yefom yayo. Yi le I-Cubed Dawn, isiqingatha (2012) eyenziwe nge-amber acrylic, kunye nezithuba ezimnyama ze-screw (64.5 cm3). Yaya kufutshane. Isibuko sibonisa ubuso bakho kunye nepateni yakudala ye-stucco eluphahleni. Ngokuphazamisa, unokujonga ukusuka kwimifanekiso ukuya kwigumbi, kwindlela ifom, umgca, kunye nokubonakaliswa komsebenzi kuhambelana nejometri kunye nokukhanya komgangatho. Umzobo we-amber hue uhambelana neplanga kwaye uhlanjululwe ngamanqwanqwa amnyama kunye neegriles zokungenisa umoya kunye nesithuba esijikelezileyo. Umoya unzima kunye nobunzima obushiyekileyo bembali ecinezela phantsi ukusuka kwiindonga ezingenanto ukuya emsebenzini, kuwe, kwaye konke oku kungumfanekiso oqingqiweyo.
Kwigalari ephezulu kukho idrama; iqonga libekiwe. Iipolygoni ezibonisiweyo zeglasi yesilivere, umthi, kunye nentsimbi ngaphakathi Ngaphaya kololiwe I-IX zibonakala zingqiyame ngononophelo eludongeni lwegalari, nangona ujongo olusondeleyo lubonisa ukuba zikhuselwe ngononophelo. Ezingenanto (2009) (i-10 x 4 yeemitha) yiglasi edadayo yentsimbi ephantsi kwiziqalelo ezingama-40 – into ethi 'i-Corban-scale' kunye nolwakhiwo lwegilasi ecwengileyo etyhubhudi ebekwe ngendlela ebonakala ingenamdla. Ibonakala iqinile, iyindoda, kodwa isoyikisa tyumza ukuba uyayibamba. Kungcono ukuthe chu ujikeleze le kwaye uye kwelandelayo. 129-40 yigridi ephantsi, exineneyo ye-amber acrylic (40 x 129 x 129 cm) emele ngokuthe ngqo emgangathweni, idlala ngokubonakaliswa kweparquet ye-herringbone. Ngeli xesha unokuqaphela ukuba imifanekiso eqingqiweyo ethuleyo ishukuma ngohlobo oluthile lobomi bejometri, kwingxoxo kunye nezinto zokwakha kwigumbi kunye nokujikeleza kwakho emsebenzini. Ufakelo lwesipili lubekwe ngokuchanekileyo ukumema kunye nokuququzelela ungenelelo lwakho kwaye imisebenzi iqala ukubonakala njengabantu abaqulathe amandla opopayi kumbindi wabo.
Kwigumbi lokugqibela, Ukuqwalaselwa (2012) ilawula - i-cuboid enkulu, into efana negridi (183 cm3). Le ndawo nayo ibhinqiswe ngokufakela izipili eziphantsi. Ukubonakala ngokukhawuleza kwamalungu omzimba wakho abonakaliswe kunye nemilenze ye-sculpture ngamava angaqhelekanga e-kinaesthetic, ekhuthaza ukuhlolisiswa kwale nto kwi-angle nganye. Ukujonga kumngxuma wesitshixo we-amber bar kunye nokuhla kwigalari, umfanekiso omncinci omde we Indoda yeTV iyavela, isakhiwe isimbo iNewgrange kwizikhewu zeamber uprights – ayifane yenzeke into eyenzekayo kwesi sithuba sichongwe ngononophelo. Kunokwenzeka kuwe ke, ukuba intlantsi ephambili yezi zinto ingundoqo womdali wazo, nangona kungekho mkhondo wesandla sakhe obonakalayo emsebenzini.
Buyela emva kwigalari, kunqande ukudibana kwamehlo kunye Indoda yeTV, kwaye tyibilika ngasekhohlo ukuya kwigumbi elide. Apha, uWalker ukhethe imisebenzi engama-30 exhonywe eludongeni kunye nemifanekiso eqingqiweyo emithandathu ebonisa ngaphezulu kwenkulungwane yobugcisa kwiQokelelo eliGxina leCrawford Art Gallery. Le yimisebenzi yobugcisa kunye namagcisa ahlala kubomi bakhe basekhaya kunye nomsebenzi. U-Walker uncamathele amanqaku obuqu kweminye yemiboniso. Ulungelelanise ukuhamba kombukeli ngokubeka i-stanchions yensimbi epeyintiweyo phakathi kwegumbi, ngaloo ndlela iququzelela ukufundwa kwale mi sebenzi njengerekhodi ye-autobiographical.
Sonke siziqhelanisa nezinto kunye neemeko ezisingqongileyo ngokungakhathali singaziyo kubandakanywa. U-Walker ubonisa oku ngovakalelo lwakhe lokulinganisa kunye nokunyanzeliswa kwakhe kumanzi amaninzi kwiinkqubo eziqhelekileyo zokulinganisa.
