Notes

Burnt ochre and bright blues the Karoo alone
knows how to mix. A raw and tough exterior, a window looking into someone’s
lace curtains and a crack so small it could ruin the whole façade should you
not treat it with great respect.
Sometimes, at night when you step out of the front door, the Milky Way seems
to be sweeping dust off the sky. Looking up, the space between the roof and
the sky merges into one.
This piece allows for the translucent light of night, stars and heat to seep
through the window of textured clay walls and land on the corner of your bed.
The galaxy’s shadow falling on your duvet cover.
How different is the ordinary from the extraordinary really?
Your pull up the duvet cover and the galaxy falls over your feet.
You get up and draw the curtain closed.
