"Interconnected"
Project type
Metallic micro-flake pigment and automotive paint on museum quality canvas with raw hessian, woven reconstruction with turmeric dyed frill
Date
2025
Size
90 x 120 cm
This work is reconstructed from two flawed gradients, cut apart and rewoven through a combination of premium linen and raw hessian cloth. What began as imperfect surfaces were reassembled into a structure that feels grounded and elemental.
The rawness of the hessian introduces a tactile contrast to the refined luminosity of the metallic micro-flake pigment. The woven pattern carries an almost tribal rhythm, strengthened by the turmeric dyed frill and the presence of natural fibres.
“Interconnected” draws me back to my South African roots. The materials feel closer to earth, to origin, to memory. The work becomes a meeting point between refinement and rawness, between past and present, held together through deliberate reconstruction.
