Van Horison tot Horison at La Motte

March 07, 2026 - June 20, 2026

La Motte, Franschhoek

Sixteen artist’s books are on display in this group exhibition dealing with various ways to convey landscapes in visual art. These artist’s books were selected from the more than a hundred and one books comprising the artwork called 101 ways to long for a home.  

The title of the exhibition, Van Horison tot Horison, suggests observations of the horizon, the furthest sight available for the eye to see as we journey across the land or the seas. It is the attributes of the ever-changing visuals and the unobtainability of being present at the horizon when viewing it, that interest me. It relates to the themes in my work – a curiosity in the consciousness of place, mapping and navigating the interrelatedness of memory, identity and place, which is also an investigation into elusiveness and permeability.

Transformation of material is pivotal to my art practice as I aim to suggest voyages combined with the element of the intangible, as a way to evoke the underlying processes of human passages of becoming.
