‘Sometimes the wife needs a break’ (Mother.Monster.Stitch)

Art portfolio- my work, portfolio

Ek dink aan hierdie een as haar middagslapie – of miskien haar ontvlugting. Die ou foto het reeds so stil en rustig gevoel; maar ek wou haar nie wakker maak nie. Ek het die masker in stadige groen genaai , soos asem.

Almal se vrouens het ‘n breek nodig, maar wat hulle eintlik bedoel is: haal asem en gaan net aan. Ek wou eintlik hê sy moes stop. Net vir ‘n oomblik, sy hoef nie meer enige iets voor te gee nie.

See you in 2026! 😉🙌😅😴👯‍♀️✨

Mother.Monster.Stitch now showing at Berman Contemporary in Cape Town South Africa until 22 February 2026. For more info contact gallery @bermancontemporary.co.za

‘Fees van die Aangenaaides’ (MOTHER.MONSTER.STITCH)

Hierdie foto het reeds soos ‘n teater stel gelyk – almal glimlag net reg, en staan doodstil. Ek het gewonder, wat as ek dit verander in ‘n partytjie wat dit voorgee om te wees. Die maskers het een vir een gevolg – laggend, skreeuend, te veel tande wat wys. Die blomme het begin oorneem. Hulle doen meestal. Die aangenaaides. Die aangestiktes. Die ongeskiktes.

Ek hou van die idee dat nie almal in die prent behoort nie. Dat ons almal maar net probeer om tred te hou met die opvoering. Dit is snaaks maar ook ietwat spookagtig. ‘n Familie portret wat uiteindelik erken hoeveel moeite dit vat om gelukkig te lyk.

Beste wense vir ‘n wonderlike fees-seisoen saam met jul aangenaaides 😉

I want to thank Saskia Buxton, who turned me into a ‘princess’ using her make-up just like a fairy-godmother would:

I would also like to thank Stephania Morland for enhancing my attire with her bespoke creation:

Last but not least I would like to thank my own Prince Charming (Hendrik Carsten) who couldn’t be there, but who always support my creative projects with love and understanding.
