Found Faith, 2026
Wood, directional caster
4000 x 4000 x 1080 mm
The concept behind ‘Found Faith’ began with a church pew gifted by a senior artist and used daily in Terry’s studio. Removed from its original religious setting, the pew becomes an ordinary bench whose context and meaning shift dramatically. On approach, the piece presents a series of contradictions. It both invites and resists use: formed as a continuous circle, it reads as a bench but denies conventional entry. Though it references a pew and the idea of faith, it is displayed within a commercial art fair. It appears solid, yet it sits on industrial casters and will spin when pushed, an aesthetic and functional counterpoint between clerical association and pragmatic hardware. In this work, ‘Faith’ denotes the motivations and personal convictions that propel us forward, less a theological belief than the forces we hold on to in life. ‘Found’ signals Terry’s ongoing engagement with found objects and the ready-made, an inquiry he plans to expand as his practice evolves.
At the outset of his ‘Found’ series, THE BOTANICAL is pleased to support Terry’s commissioned piece for the Yi Tai sector at Art Central Hong Kong 2026.
