Jeremy Wafer

Plumb, 2023

'Plumb' was included in 'Material Immaterial', an exhibition held at Goodman Gallery Johannesburg in 2023. In this body of work, Jeremy Wafer continues his sustained investigation into the entanglements of place, history, and the body through material.

The exhibition reflected the artist’s enduring preoccupation with systems of measurement, mapping, and the politics of land and sea. Through tactile and conceptual explorations, Wafer invites viewers to consider the often invisible frameworks, geographic, political, and mnemonic, through which land and identity are apprehended, shaped and contested.
