Back at home in west Wales since 21st December, into the deep freeze(lit and fig) and only really thawed through to the soul fairly recently. It was hard coming down from the elevated planes of creative activity and stimulating company in Cape Town and even harder integrating what I’ve brought home to work on and from: a mix of ready mades and my own internal images.
As I was about to leave Capetown I met up with an old colleague from activist days back in the mid-70s-she became a documentary film maker during her exile in France but has since returned home to Sa and co-directs a gallery in the Cape. (www.art-lines.co.za) To my absolute delight, at the 11th hour, when I’d abandoned hopes of connecting witha gallery, Nicki asked to keep several pieces, unframed even as they were.
