Paper is You

Paper is You , a group show I’m participating in opens tonight at Salon 91 in Kloof street. I’m thrilled to be joining such a talented bunch. It opens at 7:30pm and runs until the 25^th of June.

The collaborative piece each of us worked on: Elsabe Milandri, Colijn Strydom, Paul Senyol, Marlise Keith, Andrew Sutherland, Gabrielle Raaff and me.

A detail from one of my works on show…

2008

One of many drawings like this I made in 2008.

delicious monsters

I made these delicious monster leaf cut-outs from circular label stickers (again)

next up: working them into a repeat pattern.

Good Heavens!

Good Heavens has evolved from idea to swatches to beautifully crafted ties - and I am so proud of my Matthew! Have a browse here and let us know what you think.

from this

to this!

It's a tough call but if I had to pick a favourite? The mustard coloured tie with the birdie tipping or maybe the large floral Liberty print...

birds

Hurray for those lovely friends who, when on holiday in Kenya without you, know to choose the old faded postcard of a pink bird to send and follow it up a year later with...

this beautiful print.

Karibu Textile Mills Ltd. Wax design no 786057

animals

Creatures. I made an animals playlist for a friend. It features Alphabet Pony by the Kills and The Salmon Dance by The Chemical brothers.

sleep

It is early evening, but I'm off to bed because its oscar night in about 7 hours! Wake me in time.

occupational therapy graphics

Here's some OT memorabilia from my mom's 'paper bits' drawer.

First is a Manual Dexterity test (suprisingly difficult), second a reference card for pupil dilation with a coma scale index on the reverse and third a printed card (occupational therapy students learn extensive artisinal skills in their 1st year).
