Notes

Cameron Platter’s ‘series of homemade drawings – each meticulously hand-worked and coloured in pencil crayon, are tapestries of a contemporary South African experience; they are simple stories drawn and appropriated from the media, TV, films, art history, pornography, battle scenes, politics, music, signs, imagination, adverts, and religion.’¹

Platter’s work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York.
