Dear <strong>FynArts</strong> patrons,<br />
Welcome to the fifth annual Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> festival. This is a celebration of the arts across genres and aims to<br />
combine our love for fine art with the natural beauty of our coastal landscape.<br />
Art is in our DNA, it is the creativity displayed through our unique diversity and the sounds that echo in our hearts.<br />
It has the ability to lift one’s spirit and unite individuals across all boundaries. It is this shared love that has the<br />
propensity to unite us as a people and affords us a medium through which inner peace is sought.<br />
I wish all attending this year’s instalment of the <strong>FynArts</strong> Festival an enjoyable and enlightened experience.<br />
My sincere gratitude is extended to the organiser, Mary Faure, and her team - as too, the sponsors, business<br />
partners, local contributors and other key stakeholders - for the efforts involved to ensure that, once again,<br />
Hermanus is able to showcase South Africa’s artistic and creative offerings so spectacularly.<br />
We look forward to seeing you between 9 -18 June <strong>2017</strong>, to celebrate what promises to be another prolific display<br />
of our country’s fine talent.<br />
Rudolph Smith<br />
Executive Mayor: Overstrand<br />
Welcome to Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
Hermanus Fynarts celebrates its fifth anniversary this year and it has grown into a unique and quality event on the<br />
South African arts calendar. We have reached this milestone not only because of the annual <strong>FynArts</strong> programme<br />
content and because the festival is held in the wonderful town of Hermanus, but also because of the generous<br />
and enthusiastic backing of our sponsors, the artists, our supporters, our municipality and the town’s communities<br />
and many other stakeholders.<br />
A very sincere thank you to all for making this year’s festival a reality and for keeping us growing.<br />
This festival does not only celebrate the creativity of people but also seeks to encourage the appreciation of it in<br />
its diverse forms.<br />
We are once again privileged to welcome to Hermanus internationally acclaimed painters, sculptors, ceramicists,<br />
thread artists, classical and jazz musicians, singers, writers, wine makers and chefs, as well as a range of local talent.<br />
There is something for everyone in a programme that includes exhibitions, concerts, talks and presentations,<br />
workshops, demonstrations, tutored tastings, dining, films and a children’s programme.<br />
We look forward to welcoming you to <strong>FynArts</strong>.<br />

Festival Director
Making Headway at Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong><br />
From tiny beginnings in 2013, Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> has become a distinctive festival within just a few years. Two<br />
significant developments at the end of 2016 marked a new phase of efficiency, sustainability and innovation as the<br />
festival approached its fifth anniversary.The first was the appointment of Chantel Louskitt as our first employee and<br />
the simultaneous move of Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> into its own office at Hermanus Tourism. As fulltime administrative<br />
coordinator, Chantel assists with the organisation and logistical complexities of this fast growing festival.<br />
The second development was the creation of a new identity and strong brand for Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong>.<br />
In the world of Art, Writing and Music<br />
There is nothing that shows more<br />
commitment, determination and originality<br />
than your signature<br />
The commitment, determination and originality of Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> is reflected in its new logo.<br />

<strong>FynArts</strong> Festival Orchestra which will once again be under the direction of conductor Richard Cock.<br />
Symphony No 29 will also be performed. After the three great final symphonies of Mozart’s career, it is one of the most popular.<br />

An Evening with Marius Weyers and Bosman<br />
Marius Weyers was born on a farm. He rode horses and was surrounded by calves and donkeys. As a child he sometimes ploughed<br />
with oxen. On Saturday mornings he rode in his father’s bakkie, full of vegetables and hides for sale at the Johannesburg market.<br />
Whilst his father traded, Marius, fortified by a bottle of cold tea and a clutch of hard-boiled eggs, went off to the movies. Who then<br />
could be more qualified to interpret the words of Herman Charles Bosman than this son of the Highveld? Marius will read stories<br />
featuring Oom Schalk Lourens as well as taking a literary dip into A Bekkersdal Marathon. A more serious contrast will be reflected<br />
in shared extracts from Bosman’s record of his prison experiences: Cold Stone Jug.<br />
Date: Monday 12 June Time: 19:00 Venue: Municipal Auditorium Tickets: R150 / R140 (early bird)<br />
Toccata: Magdalena de Vries (mariba) and Frank Mallows (vibraphone)<br />

the pair have focused on commissioning and playing works by South African composers since 2009. In this <strong>FynArts</strong> programme<br />
there will be a strong focus on their South African repertoire, with special commemorative performances and works by Clare<br />
Loveday and by Hendrik Hofmeyr, in celebration of his 60 th birthday. Hendrik will be present at the concert and will introduce his<br />
work. Furthermore, Mallows has arranged a medley of music by Scott Joplin for his centenary - he died in 1917. Other exciting<br />
original compositions for vibraphone and marimba, showcasing their versatility and musical blend, will also be included in the<br />

Schumann’s Piano Quartet in Eb major, one of the most frequently performed and recorded piano<br />
quartets in the standard repertoire. The string players Samson Diamond, Jeanne-Louise Moolman<br />

My Travel Bag: Gcina Mhlophe<br />
Thirty-three years of international travel are crammed into the travelling bag of master storyteller, Gcina Mhlope. This uplifting<br />
one-woman show celebrates who we are as South Africans while shedding insight into the generous spirit of the artist. Says<br />
Gcina: ‘The number of suitcases I have bought, the stamps in my passports, amazing friendships … the countless mementos and<br />
memories fill my head like an enchanted African forest. The amazing theatres, long hours at international airports, delayed flights,<br />
the many cultures and frustrating times filled with fear and homesickness. But nothing can top the joy of sharing the stories of my<br />
people on world stages (and) the magic universality of these stories …’<br />

Baroqueswing Vol. 2. Baroqueswing experiments anew with form, rhythm, and virtuoso arrangements of timeless music, bringing<br />
a refreshing energy to the stage. The Swiss press has hailed the Trio’s performance: ‘perfect’… ‘the audience was visibly moved’.<br />
In 1959 French pianist Jacques Loussier was the first ever to perform and record a jazz arrangement of the music of JS Bach. The<br />
Charl du Plessis Trio is the only South African ensemble to continue this crossover music tradition at a high artistic level, with Werner<br />
Spies and Hugo Radyn as musical partners for pianist Charl du Plessis, helping to form the music with bass and drums.<br />

Luschei Prize for African Poetry, Kobus’ book was described by judge Gabeba Baderoon as ‘electric, visceral, brilliantly experimental,<br />
and profoundly moving’. The collection raises questions about what, in an author’s oeuvre, is considered autobiographical, and what<br />
comprises fictional truth. Kobus is the author of eight collections of poetry, and several plays.<br />

Rieldans: The Betjies from Betjiesfontein<br />
Winners of the 2016 ATKV Rieldans competition in the under 18’s division, the Betjies van<br />
Betjiesfontein will kick up the dust in three short performances of this unique dance. Riel is the<br />
oldest entertainment form used as a social, culture and education tool by the Khoisan people long<br />
before Western cultures and traditions arrived at the Cape. Today it is a celebration of ancient<br />
traditions that find new expression in contemporary forms. In this dance that imitates animal<br />
and bird movements to portray daily activities and courting between man and woman, expect<br />
ingenious, frantic footwork and energetic pace. In other words, ‘hulle dans lat die stof so staan.’<br />
Date: Friday 16 June<br />
Venue: Whale House Lawn<br />
Times: 11:00; 12:00 and 14:00 (duration 6 - 8 minutes each)<br />

An out of the ordinary programme for organ combined with other instruments will be performed<br />
in the Dutch Reformed church. The romantic work by Josef Rheinberger, Suite Op 149 for organ,<br />
violin and cello, is one of his five compositions for organ combined with other instruments which<br />
are not often heard together. The well known work for cello, The Swan by Saint-Saëns, written<br />
for solo cello and orchestra, can also be performed with the organ as accompaniment.<br />
A transcription of The dance of the sugarplum fairy suits the organ perfectly due to the many<br />
different sound options available on the organ. The beautiful Suite Gothique by Léon Boëllmann,<br />
will finish this delightful programme.<br />

selling gospel group based in the Eastern Cape. Lusanda Mcinga, award-winning gospel singer and the group’s leader, is one of the<br />
country’s most sought after gospel singers. This determined and ambitious woman knew that her music was not to be confined to<br />
the Eastern Cape. In 1998 Gallo released her first album under their label. UNGABABEK’TYALA went on to reach gold. Since then<br />
the Lusanda Spiritual Group has released 18 albums, most of them platinum.<br />

Swing, Sing and All That Jazz: Ian Smith Big Band<br />
Prepare for a musical roller coaster ride from early swing to funk and pop with everything in between.<br />
The standard Big Band sound is generated by four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones and a rhythm section. Although Big<br />
Band is renowned for the likes of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie and Duke Ellington, vocal icons must also get credit<br />
for the continued Big Band tradition.<br />
You will be treated to songs and arrangements from all of the above, plus exciting Latin American and Afro Cuban pieces. And then<br />
there will be some Miriam Makeba and Nina Simone from the young lady of song Adelia Douw. Ian Smith may well give us some<br />
Sinatra and even pick up his trumpet!<br />

M i c h a e l G o d b y<br />
a n d S a n d r a K l o p p e r<br />
Willie Bester has always held up a mirror to South African<br />
society in his work. In the last years of Apartheid - although<br />
few at the time knew that it would collapse so dramatically -<br />
Bester created powerful mixed-media images on police<br />
brutality, racial classification systems, segregated education,<br />
and other highly politicised themes. But, even in the darkest<br />
times, Bester was concerned also to celebrate daily life in the<br />
townships and the triumph of the human spirit amidst the most<br />
appalling material conditions.<br />
Like millions of other South Africans, Willie Bester welcomed the advent of democracy in 1994 as an historic opportunity to right<br />
the wrongs of the past, create a more just society, and lift the majority of the population out of the oppression of poverty. But, like<br />
a growing number of people from all walks of life, Bester has gradually become disillusioned with recent developments in South<br />
African society. Corruption and maladministration amongst the leadership deplete the national exchequer and effectively steal<br />
money from the project of service delivery upon which so many people depend. In turn, those affected resort to robbing both<br />
fellow citizens and state resources further diminishing the national treasury - and, significantly, the moral character of the nation.<br />
Willie Bester’s current work addresses the demise of the dream of the ‘Rainbow Nation’. He laments the passing of non-racialism<br />
in South African society. He deplores the spread of corruption through all levels of the body politic. He hates the renewed violence<br />
of the police and other agents of the state in suppressing protest and dissent. But he reserves particular scorn for the application<br />
of the apartheid-style national quota system that is having a devastating effect on the economy of the historical Coloured people<br />

Sculpture on the Cliffs: Group Exhibition<br />
EchoLocation<br />
C u r a t e d b y L i e n B o t h a<br />
The spark for Sculpture on the Cliffs <strong>2017</strong> came from a poetry anthology by Karen Press. In the prologue to Echo Location (Gecko, 1998) she wrote: ‘mesmerized<br />
by a bead on a string and the string is a net and the net falls over us and we lie there like silver fish. . .’ The ten artists and their evocative proposals were charted on<br />
the map of Gearing’s Point; a lookout from history where once families would wait to spot their loved ones coming home from the sea.<br />
As is often the case when one is in the process of assembling an exhibition with its different participants and dynamics, a thread is the thing to trust - not unlike Paul<br />
Klee’s walking line. Each work installed in this year’s event signals a point of resonance with one or another, be it in the materiality of the work, the referencing of<br />
ecology or aspects of the Old Harbour. This heritage site has been included in Sculpture on the Cliffs for the first time, by kind permission of the Old Harbour Trust.<br />
The exhibition will be opened by Councillor Kari Brice on Saturday 10 June at 12:30<br />

Brahm Van Zyl<br />
Remote: Perceiving Elysium I & II<br />
The current rapid evolvement of personal technological appliances such as cell phones, tablets and laptop computers is<br />
coupled with an emphasis on saving and sharing information. This type of technology is available and at the finger tips of most<br />
members of society, and everyday experiences are stored and shared, aided by these resources. These experiences seem to<br />
become important only once they have been published on social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and specifically only<br />
once a virtual discussion is triggered. Homo sapiens is depicted as a free-form, fragmented character consisting of hundreds<br />
of short lines of steel - in sharp contrast to the real world.<br />
Bronwen Clacherty<br />
Visbaai Reprise<br />
If you stood in the Old Harbour about 100 years ago, what would you have heard - the wind, the sea and the calls of the<br />
boatmen, the fisherfolk singing? Yet where are these people now? In homage to these voices musician Bronwen Clacherty<br />
recorded present-day sounds from the space and songs and stories from elderly fisherfolk who once worked at the<br />
Old Harbour and has woven them into an hour-long composition. The prerecorded music will be played through hidden<br />
speakers triggered as people walk along the <strong>FynArts</strong> promenade to connect them, through echoes, to those who were there<br />
before.<br />
Emma Willemse<br />
Counting stones<br />
As a commemoration of the many lives lost in ships wrecked on the shores of Southern<br />
Africa, Counting stones employs symbolic associations related to the uses of stones since the<br />
earliest times: piles of stones were used to designate a sacred site and stones served as<br />
tools for early counting systems. Today, stones are still sometimes placed on graves or<br />
spontaneously piled up on paths to serve as a marker of presence. The intent of Counting<br />
stones is to raise questions about the measurability of psychological trauma. How many stones<br />
equal the losses suffered during displacement?<br />

Hannelie Coetzee<br />
Klipkoppe 2<br />
With Klipkoppe 2, Hannelie continues her site-specific practice which started in 2010 with works that depicted her extended<br />
family. Klipkoppe 2 is the first family portrait of herself and her immediate family, her wife Reney Warrington, who she<br />
has been with for 20 years. Reney’s grandparents (who lived in Kleinmond until their recent passing) told them that five<br />
generations back, two Warrington brothers from America were aboard a ship heading to or from Cape Town. The direction<br />
is unclear. They fell ill and were let off the boat, which proceeded to sink a few days later. They were founding members<br />
of the Hermanus community. The Warrington Place shopping complex in Hermanus, close to where the sculptures will be<br />
placed marks this family history.<br />
Hasan and Husain Essop<br />
Cape Town, South Africa<br />
Cape Town, South Africa was part of the Halaal Art series (2010), an exhibition of photographs and a video<br />
installation by twin brothers Hasan and Husain Essop. The exhibition, as with all their work, dealt with notions of performance,<br />
representation, and the tension between self and other. Halaal Art extends the artists’ preoccupation with the role of the<br />
individual in society, in particular the space that Muslim youth negotiate in a secular environment. The thread that ties the<br />
images together is their subjects: in Islam, the rendering of the human form is considered haraam or forbidden, and the<br />
artists are deliberate about limiting this to their own bodies and bearing the responsibility.<br />
Jaco Sieberhagen<br />
The Whale Caller<br />
Exhibitions - Sculpture on the Cliffs<br />
Jaco’s emblematic profile steel installation is a comment on the senseless whaling industry and the hunting of species after<br />
species to the verge of extinction - the same model being used in modern fishing today. Protecting the whales - not just from<br />
hunting but the many other daily threats they face - would be a signal that we are serious about all ocean protection. Whilst clearly<br />
commenting on environmental issues, the work does however also bring to mind the carved wooden figureheads found at<br />
the prow of ships largely between the 16th and 20th centuries. Ironically these figureheads died out at the same time as<br />
military sailing ships.<br />

Karen Press<br />
The Whale’s Song<br />
Karen has published, amongst others, eight collections of poetry. Her anthology, Echolocation, was the<br />
seed that gave rise to the theme for Sculpture on the Cliffs <strong>2017</strong>. In conclusion she has contributed a new,<br />
site-specific poem, titled The Whale’s Song.<br />
breath clouds<br />
blood mist<br />
salt tears you are<br />
seven-tenths sea<br />
Ledelle Moe<br />
Lament II<br />
‘Lament II’ includes a series of large weighty recumbent forms that belong to no specific place but can<br />
be moved from site to site, displaced. The sculptures allude to solidity and structure, yet are inherently<br />
modular and transient. The repetitive act of carving each sculpture in various locations gave voice to the<br />
act of being in a place while considering the collective migratory patterns of creatures - of flocks, swarms<br />
and pods. Also in play are issues of permanence and impermanence, location and dislocation, and place<br />
and displacement.<br />
Raymond Smith<br />
‘I is another’<br />
‘I is another’ (from a letter by French poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854 - 1891) to Georges Izambard<br />
13 May 1871). This striking comment by Rimbaud, demands introspection about how we perceive<br />
others. The double-sided mirror reflects the same person on either side, implying that you are ‘the other.’<br />
A double-sided mirror reflects back and forward. It is a neutral element which is impartial to context.<br />
If it was able to reflect this specific environs through time, we would have been able to observe<br />
how this space changed, heard the sounds and experienced the activities which took place here.<br />
This installation invites us to consider this and our role in it.<br />

Richard Forbes<br />
Sonar Sound<br />
‘Sonar Sound’ is a circular, mild steel piece which will be able to move fractionally back and forth to allow for a resonate gentle<br />
chime occur as a call to the whales and a hail to the fishermen to come home safely. With time the corrosion from the salt and ocean<br />
will erode the mild steel and slowly take this large and gentle man-made sculpture away, reminding us that all is impermanent,<br />
time-bound and that we are gifted briefly with the wind on our cheeks as we gaze over this glorious bay.<br />
Right Mukore<br />
Remembering Fish<br />
Right Mukore sees deep into the heart of a tree to recognize a personality. He brings these characters - fish, angels, sometimes an<br />
entire family - to life through expressive carving, polishing, shaving and sanding. From larger than life-size sculptures to small-scale<br />
functional art, Right’s spellbinding creatures have become an endearing addition to many Cape Town gardens. Remembering Fish<br />
is a small school of twelve fish ‘hovering’ above the cliffs as testament to the fishing community’s history in the Old Harbour below.<br />

Art in the Auditorium - Group Sculpture Exhibition<br />
Venue: Municipal Auditorium<br />
Sculpture has become a major element of the <strong>FynArts</strong> series of exhibitions. Sculpture on the Cliffs,<br />
launched at <strong>FynArts</strong> 2014, is one of the cornerstones of the festival, remaining in place for a full year<br />
until the following year’s sculptures are installed. For this year’s Art in the Auditorium, all sculptors<br />
who have exhibited at least one work on the cliffs over the past four years were invited to take part<br />
in the exhibition.<br />
Adriaan Diedericks attempts to mimic the expansive landscape of his youth. A key concept of<br />
his work is the body as a vessel for power, glory and inevitable humiliation. This binds his reflections on masculinity<br />
and heraldic histories. He has worked in found wood and plastic, often solidifying these in permanence through the<br />
use of bronze.<br />
Anton Smit believes that Man is becoming ever more blunted to appreciating the miraculous world<br />
around him.. ‘How does a cloud stay in the air filled with tons of water’, he asks, ‘ or a spider spin a perfect web’.<br />
In search of the miraculous investigates the landscape of the soul, ‘…a fleeting glimpse of eternity that leaves you<br />
breathless...’<br />
Gavin Younge: South Africa is experiencing its severest drought<br />
since 1982. Gavin responds to this in Alien, a series of cast-bronze sculptures<br />
and engraved steel cut-outs. The ‘pot plants’ sprout the tools for both planting and<br />
removing invasive alien plants. Objects appear familiar and, much like the alien<br />
species, they conceal as much as they divulge.<br />

George Holloway’s<br />
work is always of a meditative nature.<br />
He does not comment on, or describe actions<br />
or behaviour, but rather questions it. He says,<br />
‘In pursuing influences outside of ourselves,<br />
we grow further away from realising the<br />
potential we hold inside. I suggest the solution<br />
may be found in the acceptance of being<br />
alone.’<br />
Gordon Froud’s<br />
sculptural and digital output has, for many<br />
years, been based on the reworking of found<br />
objects and images that are altered, reworked<br />
and ultimately re-contextualised. ‘I have been<br />
interested in the use of the multiple, and<br />
the choice of materials, as a means of<br />
constructing new meaning,’ says Gordon<br />
of his work.<br />
Guy du Toit says that the<br />
elephant is a strange and absurd animal.<br />
In this series of sculptures he has extended<br />
this wonderment, embroidering on the<br />
instillations and the stories in Rudyard<br />
Kipling’s children’s books which have left<br />
many mental images.<br />
Jaco Sieberhagen -<br />
Using the Fibonacci spiral, Jaco creates<br />
unique portraits of concern. With these works<br />
of art, he aims to emphasise that our minds<br />
cannot remain closed to the speed at which<br />
nature is being destroyed. The Saviour, the<br />
three works exhibited, are a continuum of the<br />
Whale Caller exhibited at the Sculpture on the<br />
Cliffs.<br />
Jean Theron Louw<br />
focuses on issues including climate change,<br />
urbanisation, water shortage and the need<br />
to live green. Her work highlights these<br />
environmental crises we all face. ‘… I want to<br />
draw my viewer into moments of self-reflection<br />
- soul searching for what makes us all truly<br />
human.’<br />
Marieke Prinsloo<br />
Rowe’s work explores the sculpted<br />
human figure and the way in which sculpture<br />
mimics the three dimensionality of human<br />
presence and its capacity to freeze the<br />
transient into sculpted reality. Her sculptures<br />
carry stories and dreams, honouring the past<br />
and hope for the future.<br />

Art in the Auditorium - Group Sculpture Exhibition<br />
Strijdom van der Merwe has always been influenced by the earth and the landscape as a basis for<br />
creating his work. In his imagination he sees ley lines as colourful structures of various lengths and thicknesses with the intervals of<br />
man-made areas in between, as islands. First there was the land. Always the land.<br />
Wilma Cruise works mainly with fired clay in her renderings of life-sized human and animal<br />
figures. Themes explored by Wilma in her work include the interface between humans and animals, and<br />
existential conditions of muteness - ‘silent, internal battles in the search for meaning’.<br />

Yvette Weyers<br />
Forgotten Orchards of the Imagination<br />
Evette sees the imagination as a playful and powerful creative force that exists in everyone. Imagination has given birth to<br />
creations as varied as the Sphinx and the masks of Africa to the micro chip technology, symphonies, bubblegum and poetry. She uses<br />
ancient images, such as the Sphinx or the Mantis from Bushman folklore, to create her own personalized mythology. Sometimes she<br />
creates mythical creatures, born out of her own experiences and insights.<br />
Alice in Wonderland<br />
The stories of Alice in Wonderland have been told for more than 150 years. Gordon Froud has collected memorabilia related Alice<br />
in Wonderland for many years. This exhibition will include items from his large collection.<br />
The combined exhibition will be opened by Marius Weyers who will be in conversation with his wife, Evette Weyers.<br />

Dylan Lewis<br />
Transfigures<br />
Exhibitions - Sculpture - hotels<br />
In this body of work, Dylan explores the wild nature within and around us and investigating the battle of integrating this<br />
wildness into our self-definition of what makes us human. Drawing loosely on myth, ritual and archetypal imagery, Lewis ‘masks‘ his<br />
humans with animal skulls and animal attributes, blurring the boundaries between human and animal realms and evoking the notion<br />
of the shaman: the conveyor of the disembodied truths.<br />
The transformation is a connection with, and a celebration of, the vital energy, life force and spirit of all that is truly wild.<br />

Group Exhibition: Forms of Expression showcases the work of 32 invited ceramic artists. The<br />
exhibition, curated by Liz Coates, continues to build on the enthusiastic support received from artists<br />
and public alike. The display of both art and utility pieces will demonstrate the wide range of themes,<br />
styles and techniques inherent in the versatility and characteristics of clay and porcelain.<br />
Venue: Windsor Hotel<br />
The exhibition will be opened by Ann Marais on Saturday 10 June <strong>2017</strong> at 10:30.<br />
Alessandro Pappada creates stoneware pieces, handbuilt from slabs. His work is sculptural and exhibits<br />
elements of mechanical movement. They have an oxide finish to emulate the stages of rust and decay in metal.<br />
Ann Marais produces figurative sculpture using porcelain clay. Two main categories: deliberate - careful, conscious<br />
social comment and intuitive - momentary, gestural; are reflected in her work. Her work has been exhibited both locally and<br />
internationally.<br />
Caroline Shultz Verdie enjoys creating containers of many forms with shapes speaking of simplicity and<br />
understatement. Aspects of utility aim at the display and enjoyment of delicious seasonal foods, be it in a restaurant or on the<br />
kitchen table.<br />
Exhibitions - Ceramics<br />
Carin Dorrington has created a range by joining more traditional shapes and forms in an innovative way to create decorative vessels that stand on<br />
their own as sculpture but also serve to hold flowers, large leaves or succulents.<br />
Christina Bryer works in porcelain to create mandalas based on aperiodic geometry. Currently she uses simple periodic grids, focussing on process<br />
and materials, and distorting regular repeat patterns for a looser result.<br />
Christil van Vollenhoven loves earthiness, as seen in her Raku en Sawdust fired pots. Her work is pure in shape and form and their frailty<br />
speaks of lightness with a touch of humour. She “gives pots legs to dance on”.<br />
Christine Williams works in porcelain paper-clay and creates layers of colour at different stages of the drying and firing process. The end result is a<br />
collage of pattern and imagery with inspiration drawn from nature, especially birdlife.<br />
Cilla Williams prefers to work in the medium of porcelain. Black, white and occasionally grey are the colours best suited to her wheel-thrown and turned<br />
vessels, which are glazed and high-fired in an electric kiln.<br />
Dale Lambert work has moved from porcelain to refined, bold stoneware forms in vibrant colours. Throwing is the preferred method of creation. Private<br />
collections around the world house several of his pieces.<br />

Eunice Botes’s new venture explores coloured porcelain clay. The imagery of “clay etchings” leads the viewer<br />
around the form to investigate with both hands and eyes. Inspiration comes from the South African Bushveld.<br />
Heather Frankel grew up on a farm on the south coast of KwaZulu Natal. In her words: “Since I am finding my<br />
feet as an artist, my work ranges from naïve and simplistic to sometimes … well let’s just wait and see!”<br />
Hennie Meyer works mainly in earthenware to produce his award-winning, highly individual pieces with strong forms and detailed surfaces. His work has<br />
been widely exhibited and included in notable collections both public and private.<br />
John Bauer is internationally recognised for his unusual, cutting edge developments in porcelain production. Using Sung Dynasty techniques, the images<br />
on his work rise above the surface of the clay. They are not negative impressions, but positive ‘expressions’ from the clay’s surface.<br />
John Shirley employs a combination of wax resist and brushwork to his bone china creations to help achieve exceptional translucency and ethereal<br />
qualities. Working in ceramics since 1970 he also lectures part-time at the University of Johannesburg.<br />
Johan Swart recognises the magical medium of clay: calmness in the shaping process, joy in pouring himself into the clay, letting his passion to create<br />
guide him to reflect himself. ‘It is less about how many I can produce and more about enjoying the process, centering the clay and myself.’<br />
Exhibitions - Ceramics<br />
Karen Kotze’s current focus is on her “Woven Ceramics” range; exploring unique shapes and surface designs, including the use of 3D printing technology.<br />
The work on show reflects memories of visits to Hermanus as a child.<br />
Lee Hensberg is the owner of Freakalee Ceramics which sells throughout South Africa. In her hands ordinary white objects become extraordinary items<br />
of desire. She studied fine arts at Pretoria University in the 1990s.<br />
Lina Kapp lives and works here in Hermanus. A relatively late starter in the creative world, a move to Knysna inspired her to use the area’s flora and fauna<br />
in her work.<br />
Lydia Holmes works in ceramics, print and mixed media. Inspired by her environment and those who populate it; her earlier work leaned heavily towards<br />
conservation and industrialisation but recent work veers towards the human condition.<br />
Lynnley Watson considers herself a sculptor and vessel maker. Influenced by the Karoo landscape and, specifically, the threat of fracking, she celebrates<br />
our rich heritage of indigenous flora and fauna. International collections and national galleries hold her works.<br />
Madoda Fani began his career at The Potters Workshop. Using traditional shapes such as beer pots and milk pails he uses coiling, which is a fast method<br />
to build form, and then decorates using carving techniques.<br />

Margot Rudolph draws inspiration from the textures of indigenous plants to work within a distinct African theme.<br />
Her vibrant works of art are mainly in stoneware combined with colours.<br />
Mark Chapman, a resident of Stanford, produces ceramics that are fun and quirky with each piece expressing some<br />
form of character, a sense of humour and a fine eye for detail.<br />
Monica van den Berg. Central to her work is humanity, and most notably, the human head; the center of thought, reason and creativity.<br />
Her sculptures reflect an intense relationship between herself and the clay with which she is working.<br />
Nanette Ranger has, since completing her fine arts degree, experimented with various materials and techniques; being increasingly drawn to sculpture.<br />
The skills developed provide her the opportunity to work in bronze and on a much larger scale.<br />
Rae Goosen combines childhood memories and current events in her ‘multiples’ in both ceramics and drawings on paper. Her current work uses repetitive<br />
forms within an installation context. Techniques of layering attempt to intrigue and unnerve the viewer.<br />
Sandy Godwin enjoys the challenges of working with porcelain clay and its qualities of translucency and whiteness. She has a passion for fabrics and<br />
decorates her pieces using different lace and stockings.<br />
Exhibitions - Ceramics<br />
Shannon Philips is an artist who enjoys working with mixed medium on canvas. Her passion is landscape, abstract art and ceramics. Her unstructured<br />
ceramic bowls have been displayed at Design Indaba.<br />
Susan Lornas was initially fascinated by Raku and Pit firing. Recently she has worked with porcelain; enjoying the fragility and translucency this clay<br />
allows. Constantly evolving, learning new techniques and “taking it further” inform her works.<br />
Tania Babb’s work emanates from a fascination with people and relationships; to each other, to themselves, objects or moments in their lives. She aims to<br />
“capture fleeting moments” in her favourite buttery porcelain.<br />
Tiffany Wallace uses clay as the medium to express her stories; from childhood doodles to more sophisticated whimsical narratives. She aims to<br />
capture the interaction of her beliefs and relationships in quirky, figurative utilitarian forms.<br />
Wilma Cruise mainly works with fired clay in her renderings of life-sized human and animal figures. Her sculptural, rather than studio pottery, background<br />
enables her to incorporate materials such as wood and acrylic resin into her creations.<br />

The Magic of Colour<br />
Colour is magic; flowers - creative energy! ‘Whether the flower or the colour is the focus - I do not know. I do know that the flower<br />
is painted large to convey to you my experience of the flower - and what is my experience of the flower - if it is not colour!’ said the<br />
American artist Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986). Charmaine’s love of raw colour and creative energy is reflected in her paintings.<br />
Venue: Forty X 40<br />
Elise MacDonald and Catherine Brennon<br />
Dream Space<br />
Elise MacDonald’s ‘magical realism’ oil paintings reflect her own inner dreamscapes; a merging of realistic images<br />
with pure fantasy. She refuses to engage in any analysis of her works. ‘I prefer not to explain the deeper meaning of<br />
a painting. It’s for the viewer to invent their own story. Sometimes it remains a mystery even to me.’ Catherine’s<br />
ceramic ‘dream boxes’ hold the promise of hidden places and secret joys. ‘I have always been preoccupied with keeping<br />
precious items in boxes,’ says Catherine. ‘The act of consigning something - even if it has no material value - to<br />
a secure and concealed space creates an aura of mystery and significance.’<br />

The art of photography can be described as the ability of a photographer to capture a special moment. It could be a moment of<br />
action in sport, a bird in flight, a moment when the expression on a face tells a story, or a moment when the light and composition of a<br />
landscape combine to form a striking picture. A selection of moments captured by members of the Hermanus Photographic Society,<br />
and printed on paper. The exhibition will also be open during the interval of concerts held in the church.<br />
Venue: Jubilee Gallery<br />
Nemesia du Plessis<br />
Gloriously in love - a celebration<br />
For Nemesia, an occupational therapist and artist, emotion is expressed in a face or is seen in the loving interaction between people.<br />
Being in love, she says, leaves us elated as love hormones circulate in our blood - restoring our bodies, souls and spirits. Nemesia<br />
tends to work mainly in oils in an impressionistic and expressive manner. Meet Nemesia at the gallery<br />

Bitter/soet<br />
A collaborative exhibition by Karlien and David, two artists who both started their careers in graphic design and who continue to use<br />
graphic elements in their paintings, drawings and sculptures. Bitter/Soet explores the different ways they employ humour. Where<br />
Karlien uses personal, bittersweet life experiences as the underlying inspiration for her work (a continuous theme from her graphic<br />
novels), David uses everyday, often seemingly arbitrary, subject matter such a cat’s thoughts on dogs (a cat has been David’s<br />
companion for the last 14 years).
Venue: Malcolm Bowling Gallery<br />
Boniface Chikwenhere, Malcolm Bowling<br />
and Richard Pullen<br />
A Tryptich of Natural Forms<br />
This is collaboration of three artists: a sculptor, a ceramicist and a painter showing their progression through form, texture and<br />
colour. Boniface creates sculptures using driftwood, found wood and fossilized/petrified wood revealing nature’s own handiwork.<br />
Richard, a Corobrik award-winner, is inspired by his rural surroundings in Bathurst, Eastern Cape and the unpredictable nature of<br />
ceramic processes. The colours and effects on his smoke-fired pieces celebrate the unexpected as he documents his explorations of<br />
surface, texture, materials and form. Malcolm, owner of the gallery, has focused on painting birds and wildlife with a commitment to<br />
portraying true form - encompassing texture and realism - and capturing the moment.<br />

Contained<br />
The two artists give their definition of the title of this joint exhibition: ‘Contain’ - to accommodate or hold, expressing the idea that<br />
something can exist or be placed within something else. Contained refers to what is actually within the container and emphasises<br />
the idea of keeping it within its bounds. Containment can be comfortable or uncomfortable and in this exhibition both artists explore<br />
the tension of ‘contained’ in their own unique way.<br />
Venue: Pure South<br />
Sue Whitmore<br />
Carpe Diem - Seize the Day<br />
In this showing of her works in oils, Sue seeks to capture youthful innocence, that seizing of the moment and living it with the<br />
abandonment of unfettered enthusiasm. Aided by plentiful reference material provided by her son and his friends, she depicts the<br />
joie de vivre of squeezing every last drop out of a day. Painting for this exhibition has not only been an artistic journey for her, she<br />
says, it has also been a journey of awareness of those moments in life that make your soul sing and your heart peaceful.<br />

Group Exhibition Featuring Christiaan Diedericks and<br />
Gordon Froud and Jaco Sieberhagen (sculptor)<br />
The Exhibition<br />
Christiaan is a regular artist-in-residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, France, is well-known for his provocative image<br />
and will present a collection of new works for <strong>FynArts</strong>. Hermanus-based Jaco will present his latest, popular, satirical 3-dimensional<br />

Venue: The Art Gallery<br />
Erna Dry, Christine Henderson, Jeandre Marinier<br />

Fish and Chips<br />
The challenge is ‘to feel like a fish out of water’ These four artists embark on a journey of exploration: sharing ideas, enjoying the<br />
safety net of support while trying something new, and having a lot of fun. Each artist will take a fish and a seldom used medium<br />
and venture into unfamiliar territory. The unifying element (other than the fish) is the size of the canvas. Their challenge is to push<br />
themselves as artists into working differently and to see what happens.<br />
Venue: Walkerbay Art Gallery<br />
Johann Koch and Jaco Kruger (sculptor)<br />

Karoo Skies<br />
Johann’s work is well-known for his paintings of the South African landscape, ranging from scenes of the Western Cape to the<br />
wildlife of the bushveld and the Karoo. His work reflects his flair for detail and each year he participates in the Exhibition of Masters<br />
held at the Greenhouse Gallery in San Antonio, Texas. Exhibiting sculptor, Jaco Kruger say ‘Sculptures need to have beautiful lines<br />
and forms, they must be beautiful in their imperfection.’
Venue: Walkerbay Modern<br />
Claire Denarie Soffietti<br />
Vive La Difference<br />
Claire’s message is one of absolute joy and that even in sad situations, colour and love will burst out again. ‘Dare loving, dare<br />
splashing the pigments, never be shy about your cobalt blues, your magentas or your deep roses. If you go black, be deep black, be<br />
deep black all the way and make no apologies for right next to it, the sublime complement and opposite exist. Go male, go female,<br />
go big, go small, go tree, go home, go water, go earth, go big blue or rainy skies, go flower, go tomato, go absurd, go frog, go pig,<br />
go child, go old…just do it all!’<br />
Venue: Daniël Kok Galery, Hemel-en-Aarde<br />
Group Exhibition of Jewellery<br />
My Africa Design<br />
This exhibition will include some of South Africa’s most artistic jewellery designers. The selection of jewellery was based on style,<br />
craftsmanship, originality, and technical ability.<br />
Venue: Mission’s House Gallery, Onrus<br />
Group Exhibition<br />
The Fine Art of Beadwork<br />
Beads have always fascinated people. The scope of the art of beadwork is vast. This group exhibition displays a sampling of beads<br />
worked into today’s fashion context juxtaposed with traditional Xhosa examples. Penny Cornell is an artist/embroiderer who has<br />
exhibited widely and has work in international private and corporate collections. Penny will exhibit beaded items as well as textile<br />
pieces which incorporate beading techniques. She is a founder member, and past chairperson, of the Cape Embroiderers’ Guild.<br />
Gillian Fuller became inspired by South African beading and combined her love of design with the local skill of beading to produce a colourful and unique jewellery<br />
range. Gillian abstracts design ideas from her environment which she translates into works of art with the help of her staff of beaders.<br />
Venue: Ralph Walton, Hemel-en-Aarde<br />
Ralph Walton<br />
A walk on the beach<br />
This jewellery exhibition is inspired by life experiences and by exploring the surrounding nature and its beauty. The collection is<br />
expressed in precious metals, stunning texture, and full volume designs. Says Ralph, ‘Join us and view the pieces at our studio<br />
where the these pieces are created.’<br />

Tollman Bouchard Finlayson<br />
Art Award Finalists<br />
Venue: Bouchard Finlayson Wine Cellar<br />
The Tollman Bouchard Finlayson Art Award is one of the highlights of <strong>FynArts</strong>. The culmination of this national competition is the<br />
exhibition of the work of 40 - 50 finalists in the cellar of the Bouchard Finlayson wine estate in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Each year<br />
this cellar becomes a unique and eclectic venue for this art exhibition which remains in place until late November when the barrels are<br />
filled with new season wines. The cellar lighting is designed to highlight the artworks whist still retaining the ambiance of a working<br />
cellar.<br />
The format of the works is round (tondo) to accommodate the way in which they are displayed on the barrel heads. The maximum<br />
size is 60cms diameter including any mount or frame although the submissions do not need to be framed. Many types of media<br />
are accepted including paper, canvas, board, Perspex, fabric, embroidery, collage, mixed media, wood, glass, ceramic, mosaic,<br />
photography, digitally/mechanically produced and photo-based. Sculptural/3-dimensional works are also accepted provided they are<br />
able to be hung on the barrel heads.<br />
The exhibition will be opened by Stefan Hundt, Curator of the Sanlam Art Collection, on Friday 9 June at 12:00.<br />

Willie Botha<br />
Missing the Fulcrum<br />
In this exhibition Willie aims to portray the message of the rhythmic, balance-interchange of nature and creation. The power lies in<br />
the fulcrum, often overlooked, despite being the universal balancing point. Willie has recently built his own bronze foundry and will<br />
offer a bronze pouring demonstration during <strong>FynArts</strong>.<br />

Thoth<br />
The title of Niel’s exhibition is named after the baboon in ancient Egyptian mythology. Thoth, god of the moon, magic and writing,<br />
was the wisest of the Egyptian gods. Jonker explores his own place in nature through art. Recent bronze sculptures hybridise<br />
human and animal forms. Recent landscape oil paintings of the Cape and Namibia find expressive mark-making and vitality that<br />
comes with working exclusively outdoors.<br />

Custodian on a Tight Rope: Lien Botha,<br />
Michael Godby and Stefan Hundt<br />
The curators remain unseen but everywhere there are traces of their involvement. Is the<br />
exhibition an installation of some kind? Hence is the curator also an artist? Does the curator<br />
walk a tight rope between creativity and interpretation? And where does the viewer fit into all<br />
this? Compiling or ‘curating’ an exhibition looks simple and effortless to the visitor. There is little<br />
evidence in most exhibitions of the processes involved in selecting the works to be displayed and<br />
the manner in which they are presented. The panellists will present and discuss the motivations<br />
behind their selections and arrangements which should raise interesting issues about the role the<br />
curator plays, how this has changed over the years and how this impacts on the viewer’s<br />
experience.<br />

History Matters:<br />
Bill Nasson talks to Christopher Hope<br />
History Matters is a witty, incisive compilation of Bill’s writings ranging from the Karoo to Hollywood<br />
- from ‘Sailor Malan’, iconic airman of World War 2, to long-lost days in District Six. In an age of<br />
amnesia, we glimpse where we may be heading only if we see where we came from - and History<br />
Matters lightens the way. Bill Nasson is one of South Africa’s foremost historians. Distinguished<br />
professor of history at Stellenbosch University and he has held fellowships at the universities of<br />
Cambridge, Yale, Kent and Trinity College Dublin. Among his many books, The War for South<br />
Africa 1899-1902 (2010) was shortlisted for the Alan Paton Award.<br />

What Remains is Tomorrow: Christopher Till<br />
Our post-1994 generation is challenging the status quo and contemporary norms. They are rejecting the notions of reconciliation<br />
and negotiated settlement that led to the first democratic election. The Apartheid Museum in Soweto is more relevant today than<br />
when it opened in 2001. As an institution of memory, it is conscious of its role in mediating the perceptions, expectations and<br />
demands of a questioning society. And the inclusion of contemporary art as a lens through which to interpret historical events adds<br />
additional insight and perspective. Christopher will discuss the relationship between these historical narratives.<br />
Date: Monday 12 June Time: 9:30 Venue: Municipal Auditorium Tickets: R85 / R75 (early bird)<br />
Who is Alice?: Gordon Froud and Wilma Cruise<br />
talk about Alice, art and metaphor<br />
Alice in Wonderland provides inspiration for two of South Africa’s most beloved artists, Gordon<br />
Froud and Wilma Cruise. Both artists delight in words, wordplay, punning and absurdity. This is the<br />
impetus for their talks. Gordon explores the image of Alice through the ages in Alice and her<br />
illustrators - not all child’s play, while in Thinking with Animals, Wilma uses Alice and her dream<br />
worlds as a platform for a visual exploration of the interface between humankind and animals.<br />

South African Art Museums - Quo Vadis:<br />
Marilyn Martin, Stefan Hundt and Christopher Till<br />
Our art museums always seem to be at some or other crossroads. Right now the challenges<br />
outweigh the opportunities, and the future appears daunting. Publicly funded art museums<br />
- at national and city levels - are struggling against extraordinary odds: finances, politics and<br />
bureaucracy; relevance to audiences; government indifference. They lack internal capacity and<br />
maintenance of buildings and their influence on artistic production has shifted to the private<br />
sector. Three prominent art curators discuss this environment, what happens to the ideal of<br />
custodianship, of taking care of what they have inherited? Of building collections, doing research,<br />
educating and animating the museums? Of fulfilling their role as social entities for the common<br />
good?<br />

The Past in the Present - Continuity and Disruption:<br />
Michael Godby<br />
Contemporary South African Photography<br />
The essential characteristic of photography is that it records whatever is in front of the camera in present time. When photographers<br />
wish to portray history they are obliged to import techniques from painting to extend the dimension of time. Because the legacy of<br />
the past affects South Africa so very strongly, several photographers explore the pictorial potential of their medium to bring past and<br />
present together. This presentation explores the different ways that photographers Jean Brundrit, Nomusa Makhubu and Francki<br />
Burger, amongst others, introduce a sense of the past into their work to explore ideas such as continuity and disruption.<br />

Stories Behind the Canvas: Felicity Jervis<br />
Framed: a duchess, a dwarf, the dancer and the ‘hero’<br />
Social historian Felicity Jervis delves into the social history, secrets and reality behind some world-famous portraits. Felicity’s<br />
revelations will intrigue, expose, shock, and shame. A fast-paced presentation - sometimes controversial - using over 180 visuals,<br />
music and video clips to entertain, inform, amuse and enlighten. Felicity’s previous presentations have always been a feature of<br />
<strong>FynArts</strong>, no doubt this new one will be no exception!<br />

The Power of Abstract Art<br />
Abstract expression has been part of humankind since we made our first marks, but there is still much scepticism about how abstract paintings are made and what<br />
they mean. Picasso said: ‘Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird?’ In the 21st century there is a renewed interest in abstract<br />
art and its ability to speak to matters spiritual and metaphysical, as well as to the political, social and cultural conditions of our times.<br />
Two Presentations by Marilyn Martin<br />
The Origins and Practices of Abstraction in<br />
Europe and its Influence on 20th Century<br />
Painting<br />
In Munich in 1910 Kandinsky painted a watercolour which was free of any objective elements and<br />
was composed exclusively of colours and lines, while in Paris Picasso and Braque were on the<br />
brink of abstraction. These revolutionary approaches spread rapidly and gave rise to two main<br />
streams as the 20th century progressed - painterly and geometric abstraction. This evolution and<br />
its many manifestations are traced.<br />

Abstract Painting in South Africa<br />
- Then and Now<br />
Abstraction is an integral part of cultural production in Africa - it did not start in 1910, but perhaps<br />
with the Blombos Ochre 70,000 to 80,000 years ago. This lecture is situated in the context of the<br />
history of two-dimensional abstract expression in southern Africa and the pioneers and exponents<br />
of modernism, from Mancoba to Maqhubela and from Laubscher to Ainslie. It explores the many<br />
and exciting ways in which contemporary South African artists are arriving at abstraction, both<br />
technically and conceptually.<br />

The Summer of ’42: The fall of Tobruk: James Gray<br />
To many men, now in their seventies, whose fathers were captured in Tobruk in the summer of ’42, the<br />
story of what happened on the 20th and 21st June 1942 is a vague memory. ‘My father never spoke about<br />
it’, they frequently tell you. In one devastating stroke, over 12000 South Africans - 33% of South Africa’s fighting forces in North<br />
Africa - were overwhelmed by Rommel’s Afrika Korps, captured and led into captivity. The fall of Tobruk was a catastrophe for the<br />
Allied cause and an unparalleled military humiliation for South Africa. 75 years on, the story of the fall of Tobruk is deserving of<br />
re-telling. What happened? Where did it all go so disastrously wrong? James Gray will attempt to tell again the fast-fading story,<br />
bringing home to a younger generation the tragic events that affected the lives of thousands of young South Africans.<br />

Brood Parasitic Behaviour in Birds:<br />
Anton Odendaal<br />
The Art of Deception<br />
This richly illustrated presentation focuses on families of Southern African birds that do not incubate their eggs or rear their chicks.<br />
This facinating talk reveals the strategies these birds use to deceive the host species. Whilst many are aware of the devious plans<br />
that cuckoos make to out-smart their hosts, very few know about whydas and honeyguides and their distinct strategies. Recent<br />
revelations on counter strategies by the host species will also be highlighted. This ‘strange, but true’ phenomenon emphasises the<br />
beauty of Mother Nature at work.<br />

West Coast Fossil Park: Alex Robertson<br />
and Jo-Anne Duggan<br />
A new centre<br />
This presentation is in two parts. Firstly, Alex Robertson will focus on the design and development<br />
of the new centre at the West Coast Fossil Park, a National Heritage Site. He will share the difficulties faced in identifying a suitable<br />
location. Particularly since it could not impact adversely on the environment and the area’s unique palaeontological resources but<br />
would allow for the construction of a building in a fairly remote location. Secondly, Jo-Anne Duggan will speak to the challenges faced<br />
by the exhibition development team. Working with traces of the past - fossils, fossil pollens, sediments - to visualise and recreate<br />
an environment that existed five million years ago in a way that explains to visitors both our knowledge and the gaps that remain.<br />

Sustainability through Science and Environmental<br />
Writing: Mike Bruton<br />
South African scientist Mike Bruton will discuss the importance of popular science and environmental writing in addressing both<br />
the environmental crisis and the strengthening of a science culture. As references Mike will include his autobiography: When I was<br />
a Fish - Tales of an Ichthyologist as well as his other books on African indigenous knowledge, the story of the coelacanth and great<br />
South African inventions. With interesting anecdotes from his colourful international career, Mike will highlight the importance of not<br />
only changing one’s mind-set and behaviour but also influencing others to change theirs.<br />

our prejudice and good taste. Charl du Plessis is a Steinway Artist and concert pianist performing simultaneously in jazz and<br />
classical genres across Europe, Asia and extensively in South Africa. His Trio is renowned for crossover interpretations of Baroque,<br />

The Rock Art of the Western Cape:<br />
John Parkington<br />
Eland and elephant images<br />
Eland and elephant are the most frequently found images in the rock paintings of the Western<br />
Cape, but the significance of these two species for San painters seems to have been very<br />
different. Eland are used as metaphorical references to hunting and gender, whereas elephants<br />
seem to have been chosen because in many ways they resembled the San societies. Elephant social<br />
complexity, communication and ecological dispersal bore many resemblances to the way San societies were organised on<br />
a common landscape. The presentation explores these issues and offer explanations for the patterning of image compositions.<br />
