Hoe is DIE vir 'n bietjie Suid Afrikaanse kuns!?!─── 17:27 Wed, 09 Feb 2011
So, I popped into Oliewenhuis Art Museum the other day to take a few pics and look what I found!!! I have to admit, this exhibition both fascinates and frightens me...but it truly is original! The fox...well, the fox is a different situation ALL together - nightmareville, here we come 
Here's a bit of info regarding the RELAAS exhibition as well as the artist, Rosemary Marriott:
In ‘relaas….’ ondersoek Marriott haar persoonlike reaksies op bekende kinderstories, kinderrympies en voorwerpe soos teddiebere en poppe-voorwerpe waaraan kinders (en volwassenes) sterk emosies, betekenis en herinneringe koppel. Daar word ook verwys na die onderliggende sielkundige verskrikking in sommige van hierdie verhale wat as kragtige metafore gebruik word. Die materiaal en uitbeelding dui op Rosemarie se Afrikaanse en plattelandse kulturele agtergrond. In ‘relaas…’ Marriott explores her personal responses to well known childhood fairytales, nursery rhymes and objects such as teddy bears and dolls; stories and objects to which children (and adults) attach profound emotions, meanings and memories. The artworks also reflect the underlying psychological horror in some of these tales, acting as powerful metaphors. The material and expression reflect Marriott’s Afrikaans rural cultural background.
