BOKAAP

A recent body of work, Bokaap, created whilst taking part in the 2023 Fall SVA Residency, is inspired by the work of Albers, Locke and Rothko. Creating ‘painted photographs’ of houses in an area called the Bokaap, Cape Town. There is an underlying history of otherness and rules since the 1700’s around houses only being allowed to be painted white or cream. This changed when apartheid ended with colours being used to decorate exteriors, often bright and primary, representing freedom, personal choice, and having a voice. This continues my ongoing explorations of Otherness.
