Description

The Stamp series began in 2008 when the work The Path was ‘censored’ and removed from the first Edge of Arabia show in London. With only two weeks to produce a new work, Gharem created The Stamp. An oversized wooden stamp with the declaration ‘Have a bit of Commitment: Amen’. "With The Stamp I declare Have a Bit of Commitment: have a bit more intellectual rigor, more bravery, more faith in your convictions. In committing to this action, I become my own authority, and the controller of my own destiny." ANG
