Tankwa Artscape Residency

2019

​

South Africa 

​

2019 was the second Tankwa Artscape Residency I was selected for. Held in the Tankwa Karoo area of South Africa, this semi-desert region is geologically arid and desolate. Artworks are generally ephemeral and sensitive to the unspoilt created within the natural environment.

​

I regard Tankwa Artscape 2019 as a pivotal turning point in my artistic practice as the experience allowed me to start unearthing my own ancestral contributions to Imperialism, Colonialism and Apartheid.
