ZAR Peirneef Revisited IV

I have taken the South African landscape as my departure point so as to interrogate the history of our land and those who have worked it. In my new “Pierneef Series” I have laid down individual shreds of decommissioned South African bank notes – tapestry-like – to reference this artist’s historic and iconic landscapes. My materials resonate with the idea of something of enormous wealth that has subsequently been reduced to waste. But I also probe notions of commodification, value and desire.
