GROUP EXHIBITION - 2020
snoops and treks
This work is the outcome of a CAP – Contemporary Art Practice Course – Snoops and Treks. The brief was to fill a box with an object and photostatted images from one’s own surroundings, as point of departure. I decided to create the box to be filled and in the process it developed into the dominant aspect of the work.
Since 2012 I have been immersed in a journey of questioning and discovery around notions of place. It was sparked by a retracing of steps that led to my childhood place, evoking memories of experiences, textures and materials. This work – hopscotch – represents a self-made place which makes room for abundant play.
