We created an artwork and conceptualized a window display for 'The Fringe On Kloof', a Cape Town gallery and shop that stocks prints, ceramic art and jewellery from local artists. (www.thefringearts.co.za). Prints are for sale at the shop.
The installation was based on this poem by e.e. cummings:
who knows if the moon's:
who knows if the moon's
a balloon,coming out of a keen city
in the sky--filled with pretty people?
(and if you and i should
get into it,if they
should take me and take you into their balloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people
than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen
city which nobody's ever visited,where
always
it's
Spring)and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselvesCeramics, Crafts, Illustration2012 -
