The Holding Absence series is based upon my formative years growing up during the Apartheid era in South Africa. References have been drawn from my childhood myths and stories where I address the anxieties and recollections from this period. Time, space and memory have played an essential part in creating an array of unexpected possibilities. Made primarily of discarded cardboard, I choose these materials to reflect the impermanence of our age and to recall states of fragility and uncertainty.
