Showing posts with label summer. Show all posts
a good friday
It's about time this space got a little attention. I've been absent due to wonderful things. Things like getting married and going away for some rest and adventure. Speaking of which, I'm currently deeply busy preparing for my solo show next month.
It's called H O N E Y M O O N and I promise to share all the necessary details very soon.
In the meantime, here are two pictures Deon and Irene of Modern Hearts took on our wedding day. More, here. I'm a bit smitten with these two, they're the loveliest people and they take very beautiful pictures.
I'd rather be swimming

Salon 91's December group show opens this Saturday morning the 1st, featuring work by gazillions of amazing local artists and I think the prices are going to be very very good. 10% of sales from I'd Rather be Swimming will go to the I am Water conservation trust.

PS Look how beautiful Dan Pearson's work is. Landscape designers (and paediatricians) give me serious career envy. Hearing him talk about his collaborative Tokachi Millennium Forest project at the Design Indaba this morning was extra special. x
holiday reads

| From Day 2 and Day 7 |
I’d like to share two books I read over the Summer break that have really stuck with me and that I look forward to reading
again in a couple of years. They’re the kind of stories that will give you
something new each time you revisit.
The first is Jeffrey Eugenides’ The Virgin Suicides in which the imagery kind of blew me away and although I appreciated
the film adaptation very much it just doesn’t come close to the loaded
sentences on these pages.
Matthew bought The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes as a Christmas gift to my mom. We chose it for her because it won the Man Booker last
year and … we both loved the typesetting and typography on the cover. It's a quick, surprising read and leaves plenty to discuss. I was really slow to
notice it at first but I think the ambiguity in the title really nailed it.
I snapped them with a collection of finds,
drinks and gifts from my December beach holiday which was almost too good to be
true thanks to my wonderful parents and M.
Things I make when I need to interrupt myself

Those pony-legs are impossibly stumpy but I think his golden mane makes up for it.
Hello February! What, the 3rd already?
Joy
I hardly know how to describe the immense joy, surprise and gratitude that was felt discovering these delightful creatures on our beach Christmas tree.
1 tree planted for every artwork sold
A mixed media group show at Salon 91 contemporary in association with Greenpop.
It looks like work is already flying off the walls but the show will be up until the 14th of January. Amble up Kloof street if you're in Cape Town over the holidays and remember to check out Steven Miedema's beautiful vertical garden in the gallery window.
Oh and Greenpop will make sure a tree is planted for every artwork sold. Grand!
moi moi
My last evening in Finland, drawing and addressing postcards while the sun sets on Suomenlinna island.
It's been so very very good.
a story about swimming lessons
It must be the coldest day of the year so far here so perhaps not the most appropriate pictures to post... However, these are part of a lovely show up at Salon91 in Kloof street until the ninth of next month which showcases stories, pictures, animations and artists' books created by my fellow classmates and I. You should see it if you're in town. Details here.
