jacki mcinnes’ work at gordart

OK, so admittedly, I didn’t have much time to spend at this show, but with a quick squizz through, I could see that Cape Town-based McInnes has a real mastery of evoking and provoking in the variety of media she works with. I love her use of metal, sand, text, cages and found objects to create spaces that could just as easily be ripe with stories as they are banal - but tend towards the former. And the fact that Robyn Sassen opened the show (titled the vocabulary of ambiguity - for her. which began 16 Jan and ends 29 Jan) leads me to believe that there is even more to her work than meets the eye (which is quite a bit). James de Villiers also shows some work in forty hand-painted pictures, which exhibits in the far room.

  1. McInnes’ work is awesome and given the highly personal nature of what she does, even more impressive.
