New study
Gold as
nervous system.
Earth as skin.
Bodies dissolving into ground. Ground holding bodies. A new body of work that asks what it means to belong — to a place, to one another, to the earth beneath us.
This series began as an investigation into the threshold between form and formlessness — where a figure ends and where something larger begins.
Deep sienna grounds. Gold drawn like nerve endings, like root systems, like the invisible lines that connect one person to the next.
These images are from the studio — raw, in-progress, alive.
The new works begin with the body — not the body as subject, but the body as a question.
What dissolves when we come together? What hardens? The gold lines are not decoration. They are the connective tissue — the thing that holds people inside a community even when their edges are blurring.
Imperfection held with warmth. The crack is part of the form.
This body of work deepens a practice that has always moved between the individual and the collective.
Earth tones drawn from Cape Town clay, Karoo stone, the ochres of the Cape Flats at golden hour. Gold not as luxury — as signal. A nervous system made visible. A community mapped in light.
Available for studio viewings by appointment. New works released progressively through 2026.
