I am delighted to announce that my work will be represented by Berman Contemporary at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair from 20 – 22 February 2026.

My work will be in great company at the Berman Contemporary Main Booth C14, where, as the gallery notes: “the viewers are invited into a layered, multi-sensory space where listening is not passive but attentive, tactile, and embodied. Here, listening is understood as a form of translation, a way of making sense of internal and external worlds through material, memory, gesture, and care. Rather than prioritizing the auditory, this exhibition looks at how we listen through process, presence, and perception.”

On Saturday the 21st of February at 15h00 I will be doing a live performance titled: “I’M FINE”.

The performance extends the concerns of my exhibition Mother. Monster. Stitch. into live time.

Focused on a single, overused phrase, “I’m fine,” the work treats reassurance not as truth, but as a social reflex used to manage discomfort, deflect concern, and smooth over situations that remain visibly unresolved and the pressure to appear “okay” even when the body suggests otherwise. The performance centers feminine labour: grooming, maintenance, emotional regulation – unpaid, invisible, infinite. It is not about collapse or protest. It is about how much work is required to simply manage what is expected. It is a quiet, durational piece that allows audiences to observe at their own pace.

I look forward meeting you there!

One great thing about having a website is that sometimes one receive a wonderful message via the website like I did last week!

I received an email from the director and initiator of the Kunstmütze in Basel. (https://www.kunstmuetze.ch/ ) She is an educator and works mainly with children. She wanted to let me know that the art project in the Muttenz library (Switzerland) has begun. She introduces different artists and their way of working to her class, and then they (the children) can work freely according to their ideas. This time she introduced children from ages 6-12 to my work! And then she sent me some images of their creations which I adore and would like to share with you!

Thank you so much for sharing my work with the youth. I loved seeing what they came up with and it is a huge honour to be introduced as inspiration to young ones!
