I recently met up with a traditional Xhosa musician and she plays native instruments such as uHadi, umRhubhe and isiTolotolo. Madosini is her stage name and I was taking her images for the visiting artists lectures at the music department.

Black And White

The new pin-hole photographs are a series of images that look at the body. I chose to use pin hole because I liked the simplicity and the lack of quality in the images. The detail in some of the images kind of made me think of an exhibition I saw of photographs in Johannesburg this winter.

The new emphasis on the nude/naked body of images was a success. The gallery loved the new take and the next step is to print and look at the different combinations that may work. So far I have been thinking about choosing one or two images from this body of work but I am open to suggestions. Ek is tans besig om te lees oor gay tribe en ek moet dit se ek voel deel van die tribe en hoe meer ek lees hoe intereseerd ek is oor my prosess van werk.

Dit is die titel van die nuwe reeks van my beelde. Inkcupha buchopho is ook Nicholas Hlobo se kunswerk wat ek gesien het toe ek het by hom gekuier. Ek is gelukig met hierdie reeks beelde vir die toegang vir die Spier Contemporary uitstalling. Alles is nou aan die gang en Michael is ook gelukig en die Mapplethorpe boeke wat hy my geleen het is iets om deur te kyk.

Exhibition

I recently went to the What If The World exhibition of Athi Patra Ruga and the Michael Stevenson Exhibitions of Simon Gush, Forex Zineb Sedira and Wim Botha. Athi's works were all great and the show was interesting fun I can't wait to have another show soon. I will be going to the Johannesburg soon to do some research and site seeing plus work.

Ek is hierdie week gelukig want ek is een van die finalis van die Sasol New Signutres kuns kompetisie. More ek doen n` aanbieding vir my teorie en ek is nie gereed nie om voor n` verhoog te praat nie.
