For the project Figure 3 (2008), Paul Sietsema took as inspiration the ethnographic objects he collected from various locations, including Africa, Indo-Asia, and the South Pacific region of Oceania. Situating Figure 3 in the broader context of his work of the preceding ten years, this far-ranging volume explores the artist‘s unique approach to looking, as well as the relationships among his drawings, object-making, and film. The publication includes an essay by Cornelia Butler and an interview with the artist by Bruce Hainley.
