Art Events

Klont, Aardklop, Potchefstroom (2010)

Medium: Thatch twine, wire, steel frame, insect and fireproof treatment

The work that I placed on exhibition was aimed at showing first of all the work that I made which I enjoyed most and that I felt communicated the themes and concepts I toy and wrestle with most accurately. I wanted the work to be accessible to both artist and non-artist and therefore work that would draw the viewer in through the execution or scale, material or the figurative elements but work that communicates in more than one layer of meaning.

In die afgelope twee jaar het ek met die flietendheid van menslike bestaan gewerk: die kortstondige oomblik in vergelyking met die groot prentjie en tydlyn van ons bestaan. Hierdie belangstelling in kombinasie met 'n groot voorliefde vir die maak van publieke kuns het gelei tot die ontstaan van tydelike monumente of tydelike beelde.

Beeldhou word te veel beskou as 'n konstante (ewige) komoditeit en nie as vlietende oomblik nie
