Fragments, fetishes and relics : an investigation of the possibility that making art is a means of resolving difference

M.Tech. (Fine Art) / In this thesis I attempt to show that it is possible to resolve 'difference' most effectively in non-verbal ways. One method is in making art. To demonstrate this, I first describe my own thought system and belief structure, as part of western culture. I try to show the impasse this has reached. I then offer art-making, particularly within Post-modern premises, as a potent means of resolving 'difference'. I use my own and Barbara L 'Angie's work to show that this is possible, not only for black artists with Western influences, but also white artists with African influence on their largely European-based outlook.
