WORLD PREMIERE)
An audio-visual narrative exploring Olu Amoda's very creative expansive journey as principally a metal artist for three decades. It highlights Amoda's artistic mission to expand the vocabulary of sculptural expression based on materials and, examines how he has carefully chosen specific metal - materials for their shapes, textures and properties; as well as found, used, fresh, dated and repurposed objects, to give them artistic relevance and imbue them with new communicative meaning. From his famous nail sculptures to mixed-metal assemblages, there is the intrinsic yet palpable aura of the Soul of both the metal-material and the traditional artistic heritage of the artist him self in an intimate interaction which the documentary examines within the ‘spirit space' of metal-workers.
