GIRL DUST // 2021

A cosmos of off-cuts
Client

Personal Work

Location

Cape Town, SA

Date

2021

The Girl Dust pieces have been created with mixed-media off-cuts from previous works I have made (and a few tiny treats for pizzaz). I didn’t cut any threads specifically to make these worlds.


Close up in this cosmos of off-cuts I see pieces of past work, some threads that have traveled with me across continents, and puffs of wool that recall memories of pompoms in lockdown. From afar I see stories, like staring at clouds and seeing Winnie the Pooh in a fedora riding a dragon. I wonder what you will see?


The frames are made especially for this project. After I let the dust settle, they finish it with backing, painting, and hanging. In this series, Fire and Isolation has a painted edge to complement the work.
