14 artists (yes they all make a living out of art) present their work in 10 different locations. Not only paintings but also sculptures, handbags (not craft), photography and handmade design jewellery.
👉”African Feet” was first exhibited at the UNESCO exhibition ‘The Invisible/Visible’ in Oslo, Norway and since then travelling around the globe.
During the exhibition CREATIVE NAPIER 24-26 September it will be on display in Studio98 along the main road (100m past the church towards Bredasdorp).
The exhibition in Oso was in december/January 2017/18 and curated by the previous photography curator of the Prado Museum in Madrid.👈
Haiku photography combines an image with a short poem to link the essence of nature with human life. The idea is not to describe, but to allow readers to enjoy a similar experiential feeling that the artist had.
Besides me there is only one other photographer in South Africa practising Haiku photography (‘Lize Bard’ – alias for a professor at one of the universities).
