Introduction
Since the early 1990s, Martin Honert has been redefining the possibilities of contemporary sculpture. His painstakingly crafted and elaborately staged three-dimensional works capture the ambivalence associated with memories from childhood, to understand the perseverance of an image, the significance of which is not immediately apparent, not even to the artist himself.
