So, after graduation, the huge pieces of unstretched painted canvas almost became rolls of forgotten art in a storage room.
I reworked most of the pieces, devided them into smaller panels,
stretched them, embroided, and sold.
This is what became of it...
I was commissioned to do 2 artworks for the South African Embassy in Lesotho, along with established artists such as Diane Victor, Jan van der Merwe, Gordon Fraud.
This work, 'Blou gedagte vir Bibi Slippers', sold just 2hours after I delivered it to the gallery. The manager didn't even had the time to hang it yet.
I wanted to keep this one for myself, and it hung in my house for 2 years before I parted with it.
And this one is to remember. It remains as it were, no reworking, just stretched in three panels. My parents thought to save one. Such an excellent thought.
Two are still in the process of becoming something more...
