I grew up not wanting to be an artist. I thought maybe marine biology. Turns out I studied Fine Art at Rhodes University and lost interest in dolphins. For the first three years I still didn’t want to ‘be an artist’. Somewhere along the line I changed my mind. And now I’m quite keen. It’s rather fun. Sometimes I make little models of characters or ideas out of paper and wire or do some drawings. I like to install things in unlikely spaces and use lights and fancy things. I am interested in systems and structures and sad people. I’m always on a kind of detective endeavor in search of things that are left behind, when everyone has had their turn. I like to give them a chance. I am working on a new kind of art criticism that’s more like an art than an essay. I’m thinking of making some books. And starting a business of some kind.
