You can sit under my umbrella | Jy kan onder my sambreel sit | Unakho ukuhla phantsi kwesambuleni sam

The female figure invites you to share her umbrella and to continue the conversation. For a moment strangers understand each other, the bench offers a small shelter and the sky covers us all. The artist’s focus has been the female form. She is intrigued by how we respond to a three-dimensional presence, a sculpture, a human-lookalike and hopes it will make us reassess our surroundings.

Die vrouefiguur nooi jou om haar sambreel te deel en die gesprek voort te sit. Vir ‘n oomblik verstaan vreemdelinge mekaar, die bankie bied ‘n klein skuiling en die lug bedek ons almal. Die kunstenaar spits haar toe op die vrouefiguur. Hoe ons reageer op ‘n driedimensionele teenwoordigheid, ‘n beeldhouwerk wat soos ‘n mens lyk, interesseer haar en sy hoop dit sal ons ons omgewing laat herbekyk.
