Hesere Gildenhuys ‘Gauze Poetry’ was the highlight of the CPUT exhibition for me. She is a B.TEch Surface Design student that I feel produced something truly beautiful, interesting, engaging and strong with meaning.
To give you some insight into the art pieces I will drop few key words: phenomenology
embodiment
perception and representation
self reflection
They are inspired by traditional body adornment of African women in tribes such as the Kaleri, Ga’anda, Nuba, Maro, Mbaye and Zaire. Geisha’s from the Japanese culture with their blank white faces and painted red lips were also very inspirational. Overall, I think Hesere has produced something very special.
Such interesting, beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with Kat´s comment…
Yep, this definitely does the walk and the talk.
These are incredibly beautiful! I cant stop looking at them. I would love to have seen them in real life.
