The Big Picture – a Group exhibition at Knysna Fine Art opens on the 9th of December 2022 and you are invited!:
I will have 3 small works included in this exhibition.
‘Once upon a time, near the ocean” 2022 Photographic print, thread and rubber 41.5 x 35 cm‘She hurried toward home’ 2022 Photographic print, thread and rubber 41.5 x 35 cm‘At last she reached the top and saw fairyland.” 2022 photographic print on board, thread and rubber 41.5 x 35 cm
As you can see below, I took inspiration from really small photographs in my collection and had them blown up to a size I am comfortable to work with.
And below is and example of the work framed.
If you are unable to visit the gallery, feel free to register your interest or request a catalogue from: corlie@finearts.co.za
The words: “Blah Blah Blah” embroidered onto the vase was initially inspired by the title of a song performed by Dutch DJ and record producer Armin van Buuren. For Taute music in particular is not just a muse but also a thread that binds humanity together. With that said: the word Blah also refers to that feeling of an expression of mild frustration; and also when you are having the “blahs”, refers to a feeling of physical uneasiness, general discomfort, or mild depression. So please don’t let the threads that bind us give you the “blahs” (from my artist statement)

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.
