The ‘Echo’ of Gregory Halili
A life-size skeleton created entirely from uncut, found corals atop a massive, raw driftwood; skull profiles and open hands meticulously painted and fashioned on giant clams and mother of pearl shells—the new works of artist Gregory Halili may be seen, from an untrained perspective, as nothing more than a visual paean to the sea, a sculptural ode to that overwhelming space that still remains foreign to us, despite man’s numerous explorations of it. But a Halili piece doesn’t leave its audience just scratching the surface; just like the sea, it holds waves of truths and memories.
