Temporary Mural and Safety and Security objects Installation

​

The mural consists of symbols and signs that relate to safety, warning, and the almost absurd measures deployed for safekeeping in South Africa. I followed a timeline of memories and experiences while recognising the effect of living in a violent society. The mural patterns were spray painted over several weeks with handmade stencils. The patterns mimic Shwe Shwe, a traditional South African fabric with colonial roots, now used commercially in everything from clothing to accessories. The clay objects are small sculptures based on patterns in the mural.
