I am so glad that we decided to visit Everard Read and Circa before going to Herbert Evans this year! Our students made up about a third of the group for Andries Botha's (In)somium exhibition at the Circa. What a treat!
This piece was delivered late so we got to see the team colour bronze it before the walkabout.
The piece above was exhibited in a darkened show room - very eery with blue light arrows. I decided not to take my own camera along, so keep in mind that with the press and shoot (that has no flash setting.....) the piece looks quite different.
After a few finising touches on the bronze head, Andries proceeded to lead us through an insightful process of his work. I was very encouraged and inspired by his conviction about his own art and know that the rest of the students found it equally stimulating.
