Tears That Keep Flowing  Abstract Art and Art Storytelling come hand in hand, I tell stories that I have seen happen, read about or have had a similar experience through abstract Art.  To me it really doesn't matter much what style or expression I use to interpret my stories, I use what is available to me and try to make the best out out it. Hence the use of textiles for this Art project. Fabric cut offs for me, its just like a dog and a bone. I love, to collect fabrics samples and cut offs.  My ears are fastened to the ground, for any information on fabric cutoffs.  My last batch of textiles, came from a charity store , down the road. I took advantage, of the fact that I'm known there already, to choose the best, right inside the managers store room/office.           I descended on brocade , cotton , poly cotton, jersey and good linen textile cut offs with great pleasure! This time around I was going to create c...

The Birth of Recycled Denim Sculptures These unique sculptures emerged from a rather simple beginning. Over time, I had amassed a collection of old, worn-out denim pants. Rather than discarding these remnants of the past, I saw potential in them. The faded fabrics, with their various shades of blue and distin...

When I returned back to Joburg where I reside, one thing that struck me the most was the lonely feeling that engulfed me when I stepped into my work/art studio.  It felt abandoned and it made me wonder what work I could have done and accomplished in this studio the six weeks I was away in Lagos it was a bit depressing. My need to do something about that feeling led to painting on a few shirts, which brings me to the subject at hand, re-purposing of shirts.  I have done quite a few of these paintings on shirts before,those shirts were kind of different because they where random shirts I picked at charity stores then.  This shirts, are like a canvas medium for me, my studio felt empty and creating art and re-purposing these old shirts mad...
