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.

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_ 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.

Back in Cape Town for almost three weeks and only getting to process documentation from my final exhibition for Nosadella Due artist residency, Bologna Italy now…
What an experience! A lot to process… Seven weeks, Venice, the biennial, Bologna for a month and brief visits to Milan, Florence, Padua and Rome. I will be feeding off this experience for years to come. Thank you to The Africa Centre for making it possible, to Nosadella curator Elisa Del Prete for being such a brilliant host. Also to the directors and staff at Atelier Si (esp. Tihana Maravic and Giovanni Brunetto) for hosting a performance, workshop and exhibition at the theatre. And to all the wonderful people I met at Nosadella and along the way.
During my residency at Nosadella Due I first did a performance, data CAPTIVE AUDIENCE(Bologna) (see previous blog post) a week after arriving as part of the launch of the season program at theatre, Atelier Si. I ran a weekend workshop in the middle of the residency and then on the 25th October I held a small exhibition again at Si to show the work I had created prior and during the residency.

As part of my residency at Nosadella Due, Bologna I ran a weekend workshop at the theatre Atelier Si (15-17 October 2015).
This was a great opportunity to share my creative practice and experiment with using my own processes of working between the digital analogue spaces of drawing as a means to reflect on the nature of perception, presence, orientation, self-expression and connection in a contemporary digital media environment.
I had a lovely core group of participants ranging in age and art experience who were open to the experimentation and the exercises I created for them over the two day workshop…
