With Nomadism in my blood, I identify as a Citizen of Nowhere. I currently work from my homestudio in Bloemfontein, where I produce minimalist abstract works inspired by everyday life, spontaneous sketches and there’s a certain joie de vivre in my process that knky a child knows in summer vacation.Currently my focus is on illustration, inks and monotype prints, as I continue my 6 year + journey in digital graphic design. Born and educated in South Africa, I studied Communication Design & Art History at Rhodes University (Grahamstown).My process consists of deconstruction and decontextualising everyday objects and then reconstructing for it to ‘make sense’ (or not). The challenge is to see beyond the distraction of the conspicuous to capture the essence in each subject.My inspiration: Mondrian, Pollock and The Process.
