I don’t know about you, but September was really testing my patience. I had a hard time with the South African postal services trying to send work overseas, which in the end didn’t reach is destination. So better luck next time. But October is here and promises to be a busy month as well as a beautiful one!

I am excited to announce that I started working on a commission last month and it is progressing slowly but surely:
Yep, that’s me (wearing a wig as usual) in front of the work just to give you an indication of the size!
The only request from the patron is that “Size matters!”
That’s when I decided that it will be the title of the work as well. 😉
note to self
So dear friends due to this commission, I will not be hosting a studio exhibition this month, but I do have those works that didn’t leave the country, available directly from my studio, until the 10th of October. If you’d like to receive a pdf file, let me know via email: hannalie.t@gmail.com.

die mooiste, mooiste maand…: (n gedeelte uit die gedig deur CL Leipoldt)
Ai, ek wens ek kan saam met Leipold stem, maar Oktober is my blouste, blouste maand. En dan praat ons nie eers van die sinus/hooikoors aanvalle nie!
So ek volg maar Antoinette Pienaar se raad:
“Sleurwerkies kalmeer jou. Dit bou keerwalle teen die smart.”
Einste Antoinette het ook gese:
“The reality of dealing with your own shit (in my geval snot) is n lewensbelangrike ding. As jy eers met jou eie kak vrede gemaak het, val baie ander dinge in plek.”

Intussen het ek erens gelees dat Greta Thunberg (julle weet mos wie dit is) in n vorige toespraak die volgende gese het:
“I have many dreams. But this is the year 2019. This is not the time and place for dreams.”
A big thank you to those “daredevils” who accepted my “dare”/invitation to come and PLAY at Nirox sculpture park during October. Thank you for sending me the photos! The show is still running until early December, so hope to see you ‘play’…
