Studio musings... Bone. Flesh. Memory. Excavation Studio musings...

Bone. Flesh. Memory. Excavation. Fossil. Trauma. Not surprising that what is happening in the world is finding its way into my practice. Art doesn't exist in a void.
Work from my studio is included in this year's GOT Work from my studio is included in this year's GOT JUNK? I A(rt) Fair Edition!

"Gracefully Gone" is available from my studio in South Africa.

Excerpt from catalogue:

"From its inception, Got Junk? has questioned hierarchies between emerging and established artists, between disciplines, and between gallery and alternative space. The works assembled here resist singular categorisation. They include new works, experiments, prototypes, past pieces, and moments of transition. Some are intimate in scale. Others are declarative. All are available. All are in circulation."

The use of the tile designs evokes visual connections between body and architecture: in the symmetry of the design, the colours of a bruised body, the materiality and fluidity of the paint.

The painting approach and the thread activate the surface of the canvas into a layered, lived experience of memory and loss. The meeting between these two media brings forward a give and take, a silent compromise or negotiation. One gets obscured while the other gets revealed.

The exhibition brings together mixed-media paintings on canvas and linen that vary greatly in scale. These works explore the relationship between body, painting, architecture, and memory. 

Historical ceramic tile designs found throughout Andalusia function as a starting point for these visual investigations.
