Ground Xero at Art in the Forest

It has been some time since I have had new work on show in the Cape. I have few pieces on this group exhibition curated by Anthony Shapiro at this beautiful venue.

The exhibition opens on Saturday October 27 at 11:00 am. If you are in the area it will be great if you can be there.

Testing Testing Testing

I love coming up with new ideas and testing and developing them into my work. I have been carrying out a number of new tests recently using the soluble salts in new combinations and I find this particular one quite exciting and it opens many new opportunities for development.
