After the Fire

7 March – 28 April 2024
Solo exhibition at Sisonke Gallery at the Cape Heritage Hotel

In 2020 there was a devastating fire at a home in the winelands.  The fire decimated a large portion of the house and the extensive well-loved art collection housed there.

After the fire, dozens of old fine China remnants were found amongst the debris.

While working with these salvaged shards, these artworks grew into echoes of the objects they had once been and remind us of the impermanence of precious things.
