FLUISTERINGE VANAF 'N LELIEPOEL/ WHISPERS FROM THE LILY POND by Shany van den Berg
27th October- 19th November
10h30 for 11h00
This exhibition Fluisteringe vanaf 'n Leliepoel/ Whispers from a Lily Pond is the first platform for a series, that reflects the rebirth through water, water spirits, and Nymphaea (water lilies)
The body of work is mapped, woven, stitched and dressed to awaken the Nymphaea from a deep hibernation to play and dance with the water deities.
"My memories of water and lilies (from childhood to present day) drove my practice conceptually as I found myself spending days in Stellenbosch Botanical Gardens. This initiated painterly and drawing based experiments and research- in essence it served to manifest my lilies and water spirit through documenting my thoughts as they are mirrored back to me on the watery reflections"- Shany van den Berg
This exhibition will be opened with a performance by the artist.
Gallery hours: 9:30 -17:30
Entry: Complimentary
