“At its core, After I Fall Down the Stairs at the Golden Temple is about process – how things are held up, stitched together, or braced just long enough to take shape. The ‘props’ that once only temporarily supported my more precarious works are no longer discarded. Coated in gleaming gold, these once-humble supports are now exalted. In their awkwardness and urgency, they reveal the quiet scaffolding beneath any act of making or holding – whether it’s a sculpture, a memory, or self. The marks of the maker are visible, but unlike the uniformity of the patterns that emerge as I join coil to coil in the making of my sculptures, these ‘props’ hold the memory of their quick, haphazard construction and placement.” (Kerryn Levy, 2025)
