Introduction 

​

As an architect and long-time local resident, the built environment of Pretoria/Tshwane is of specific interest. Over the last few years, I have become increasingly fascinated by the public statues in the city. My current work layers the memories represented in public art and architecture with contemporary imagery to imagine its future potential. An almost archaeological investigation is augmented by visual research (and natural curiosity) through experimental works in various media, including drawing, collage, stitching, animation and augmented reality. My work creates a visual balance between growth and decay, memory and forgetting, the past, the present and the city’s imagined future.
