A GLASS DARKLY
Solo exhibition
2 - 25 August 2024, KZNSA Park Gallery, Durban
My paintings consider how we pay attention to the world around us, and limitations in our ability to see and understand things as they are. I suggest that we can grasp the world around us, if only in part, by carefully absorbing intricate details and singular moments.
My work is personal. It speaks of absence and alone-ness, it is a tender yet critical look at my heritage and its cultural spaces. Rural churches, abandoned farmhouses and dejected inner-city buildings go unnoticed but captured in dusk’s oblique, filtered sunlight, they are transformed into magical, meaningful scenes.
