Together Apart (Group Exhibition)
7 April - 4 May 2017
ArtSpace Durban
When we are talking about living ‘together apart’ we are describing the lifestyle of two partners/siblings/relatives who do not necessarily live under one roof. Maybe what we are describing can be called a sort of tribe (n: a large group of related families who live in the same area and share a common language, religion, and customs).
Together Apart is about two connected people with the same intense interest in art and creativity, but whose works might be different and, therefore, ‘cannot be put under one roof’, except during this exhibition!
Participating artists:
Chris de Beer & Marlene de Beer
Heather Pattenden & Mhairi Pattenden
Miranda Crooks & Nicholas Crooks
Karla Nixon & Dane Stops
Pascale Chandler & Claude Chandler
Grace Kotze & Melody French
Ian Calder & Nina Calder

Own a Space
2016
I am very honoured to be participating in, what is sadly, the last show happening at Loading Bay Gallery, Durban. This group show allowed artists to have more control over the process of exhibiting their work. Taking ownership of a section of the gallery, from selecting work and who you display your work with, curating to hanging. It’s a great show with a diverse set of media, be sure to check it out. Closing 21 August 2016.
