Apologies for the lack of posts lately, everyone. I’ve been really snowed under with mostly boring freelance work as I try to save up for the imminent baby girl (< 2 weeks til her arrival!).<\/p>\n
I did write what I think to a be a pretty good catalogue essay on Colleen Alborough’s YAP (Young Artist Project) installation at the KZNSA gallery this week, and am working on a short bio on Wim Botha for a local mag, too. Be on the lookout! Other than that, had a full week of teaching between the Digital Arts MA students and Creative Writing courses at Wits, and am working on a DVD and CD for iCommons (a Creative Commons thing) with Franci Cronje.<\/p>\n
Hoping to go see art and write more for "this space" soon.<\/p>\n
