Brett Murray (South African 1961-) MEMORY AND TEARS laser cut steel, Angolan curio, plastic, and bank notes EXHIBITED The Other Visibilities, Newton Gallery, Johanesburg, 1992 128 by 118cm Memory and Tears Brett Murray has always been a controversial figure in the South African art world. However, The Other Visibilities exhibition critically evaluated the reality of poaching, a far cry from Murray’s usual work satirising the political and social climate. Memory and Tears was shown for the first time at the Newtown Gallery in Johannesburg in 1992. The work is part of the Heritage series, an iconic body of work focusing on the danger humans pose to wild animals.1Murray's commentary is incredibly pertinent in the current climate considering the rise in poaching. The subject of Memory and Tears, an elephant, has been poached and traded for centuries for ivory.The elephant is depicted with weapons and currency on its body, a clear message. The rust as decay may denote our losing battle against poachers or the slow extinction of a species. The window can be opened and it may symbolize hope through action. - T.W.1.“Brett Murray, Heritage.” Brett Murray, accessed January 23, 2020, http://www.brettmurray.co.za/work/heritage/
