"The sculpture of Athene Grant evolves out of two aesthetic considerations. First, her studio practise of conceptualizing form from direct interaction with her materials without pre-conceived notions of "subject-matter" - an attitude that demands risk-taking on her part and gives her objects psychic energy and authentic formal invention. Second, a curiosity about non-western (particularly African) sculpture, which allows Grant to fabricate sculptures that fuse sequential time and space, western concepts of sculpture, to symbolic and expressive forms of non-sequential and non-linear pre-industrial concepts of three dimensional art."
