In conversation with Dawn Garisch - book launch for her latest novel Accident
Doctor and writer, Dawn Garisch has just published her latest novel Accident through Modjaji Books. Dawn invited me to be in conversation with her at her book launch event at Kalk Bay Books on the 10th May. She asked me if I wanted to make a performance part of the conversation as one of the main characters in the novel is performance artist Max.

Monday night printing at Warren Editions
Last year I started going to Monday night open printing sessions at Warren Editions printmaking studio, Cape Town. I have really enjoyed getting back into printmaking again after the collaborations I did with Warren Editions in 2013-15. So far I have made a few etchings and a larger series of Monotypes. I have been exploring both oil and watercolour, painting two plates simultaneously with my left and right hand from short videos I shoot with my mobile phone while travelling in a car.

2016 review
In 2016 I made a start with my book project with Lessons in transformation at the Michaelis Galleries, University of Cape Town in May. What was intended to be a once off exhibition ending in a publication during the exhibition ended up being only the introduction! So look out for a series of exhibitions/performance events that will become chapters of the book.
Last year I also participated in three group exhibitions at the Barnard Gallery,Cape Town.

Lessons in transformation_
Lessons in transformation_ is a recent exhibition in the upper gallery at the Michaelis Galleries, University of Cape Town 5-20 May. The exhibition was set up as a site for conversation around my creative practice over the last eighteen years. There were various prompts for starting a conversation about my practice from photographic and video documentation to painting and collaging actions. On the 12th May I did a painting performance that also provided an entry point and experience of an aspect of my practice, namely painting live from multiple and moving visual media.
