Catalogue Note
Handiwirman had been slowly and consistently testing his own sensibilities and artistic sensitivity in handling the possibilities of form, material, and the problem of presentation and representation, so that he might use these in his installation and painting. These [works] clearly show his sophistication in handling the figurative and performative nature of the seemingly organic form of objects.
