Two of her works, “The Giver of Light” (2005) and “Seated Mother and Child” (2005) are a turning point. From here Owanto has travelled inwards and invite the viewer to see an inner side - an inner side of both the force of love and of the sculpture. One cannot be seen without the other. What it is the sculpture made of, the materials of its construction, where does love come from? This has become the base matter for a new series of work. All the sculptures will be displayed in their new form showing its interior metallic structure originally intended to support the clay. The Giver of Light II is more elaborated but derives from the same original idea. This series is a work in progress and is currently undergoing exploration in Owanto’s workshops. This Series present Owanto’s work to a point where her sculpture and painting share the same philosophical meaning and contain the same spiritual energy.
