\nOpening Saturday 26 May 5-7pm
\nAn exhibition including the interactive video installation, Night Journey.<\/p>\n

Each day we retreat to our bed, to the place that is so private, so familiar, so intimate. It lures us with its promise of comfort, protection, and restoration. In our beds we can escape the endless traffic, incessant noise and smothering fog, into the oblivion of sleep, transported to other worlds beyond the borders of ordinary perception. Night Journey explores and interrogates the epic journeys we embark on when the night shuts out our visible reality and gives free rein to our hopes, fantasies, dreams, fears and nightmares.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I work in a variety of mediums, focusing on multimedia installations. I am very interested in creating experiential installations, that encourage the viewer to explore and interact with the work in order to complete the narrative of the installation. My art making process frequently involves ritualistic, labour intensive methods of production, such as felt-making. I use these methods to construct environments that attempt to embody some form of psychic reality.<\/p>\n

The Night Journey interactive installation is accompanied by the artist’s limited edition book Before the Time (2007). This concertina book reveals the exploration of a solitary journey along a melancholic yet painterly stretch of road. The images search into the distance, trying to see beyond the isolation and apparent silence of the passing veld. The work attempts to capture traces of life in the land that momentarily reflect within our field of vision whilst on such journeys.<\/p>\n
