Artist’s statements:

“I’m using art as an excuse to live a very interesting life – it allows you to be whoever you want to be, do whatever you want to do, go where ever you want to go. It’s like a free ticket. Take the gym thing – just to exercise all the time would have been so boring, but when it was done as an art project, it was quite different.”

“I continually strive to blur the lines between my art and my life, creating performance-based, conceptual, and installation work that is at once deeply personal yet firmly situated in the South African social landscape.”

ADVERTISING
1999 – 2000: The Jupiter Drawing Room Cape Town: Creative Stimulator. Responsible for developing activities, brainstorming sessions, and projects aimed at inspiring, informing, provoking, challenging, and motivating staff in the creative department, and opening up questions and issues for debate, including such daily concerns as “what is advertising?;” and “”what is going to be the next trend?” Projects included:

• EVENTS DIARIES – listing cultural events, venues, spaces and things to do
• OUTINGS – Visits to culturally/socially/artistically interesting spaces and events including theatre, the gay baths, mall parking lots, the station, the townships, art exhibitions, and movies. These evenings were aimed at offering creatives fresh, new stimulation beyond the traditional “watch a show reel” or “page through a design book”
• LSM – A physical theatre/ performance piece that was written, devised and performed by creatives at the agency working with a professional director. The piece aimed to give creatives a new creative experience of design and language, subtext, visual language and physical language. The piece was finally performed for an audience that included journalists, theatre people, designers, and other advertising agencies, and was acclaimed by the likes of Cape Town director Martinus Basson.
• KEYLINE – An in-house publication that was developed by creatives at the agency, Keyline aimed to stimulate, provoke and push the boundaries of design and writing. The publication went on to win a Lourie Award (2000) and was featured in ID Magazine, U.K.,, where it was described as “truly stimulating.”
• BOOK > ART: Creatives in the agency were each given a book (ranging from a book on Beat poetry to a book of swearwords) for which they had to create an artwork. The work had to be created using non-conventional media. An exhibition of the art produced was held in the agency.
• JHB PROJECT- Creatives from the agency were taken to JHB to work with a JHB artist on a project that looked at urban spaces, architecture and city living
