“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Dr. Howard Thurman

Terwyl haar liggaam besig was om te herstel, het Diana solank haar verstand geoefen.
Sy is vyf en twintig en siek en sat daarvan om so hard te werk en steeds n sukkelbestaan te voer. Daarom besluit sy dat dit tyd geword het dat meeer mense van haar bestaan bewus word.
Diana voel dat haar kans om te slaag omtrent vyftig to vyftig is.
“Maar ek kan nie nou ophou nie” se Diana

meet the artist part 7 – working with rubber

Rubber is a very tactile substance and I love the skin-like quality of it, which can be highly fetishized.
It also distances my work from the perceived softness or delicacy of ‘women’s work’ to become the opposite – hard labor.
Working with rubber is like fusing two seemingly irreconcilable material forms together along with their associated symbolic values.

Thank you for reading my ‘meet the artist’ posts during this month, reaching the half way mark today. I wish you a lovely Valentines day. xxx
Quote of the day from “The Muse”
Studio news
Detail: “Her dark side- fetish” embroidered rubber
Photographer Kleinjan Groenewald.
“Isaac had talked on occasion about about art, about famous painters and what made someone stand out from the rest.
‘Novelty’, he always said, ‘makes the difference’.
It was the fact that they were unlike the rest.
‘You can be a brilliant draughtsman’, he said, ‘but that means nothing if you’re not seeing the world differently.”
From the book “The muse” by Jessie Burton
