Anticipating Ever | Glass, wood
| 2008
As my work for Disguise, the art of attracting and deflecting attention (curated
by Joost Bosland), I placed hand-blown glass panes in front of one of
the gallery windows. The show was the first show in the Michael Stevenson
Gallery's new space in Woodstock in Cape Town. Woodstock is an area undergoing
rapid gentrification. The work was intended to draw the viewers' attention
to the process going on outside. Because of the hand-blown glass panes,
the view of the neighbourhood was distorted. The glass also served as
a reference to the first glass works in South Africa, which were located
in Woodstock.
