Verna Jooste ... scenes

Verna Jooste also exhibited with Lene Tempelhof at art.b in Bellville recently. As far as I understand, she is also involved at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT). She created these old fashion toys, where when you press the button on the bottom the whole figure collapses... except of course hers have been created in precious metals and stones...

"Die man van my hart"

I LOVE the shadows that these little gems create on the wall, it adds a whole new dimension.

"Up, up and away"

As Verna really wanted people to handle her work, the little girl's balloon came undone on the opening night. A pity, but I am sure easily rectified.

"The one, the only"

I really like her work!

so many exhibitions, so little time!

With the exhibition opening of learners' work (Grade 10-12) & voluntary students at the Tygerberg Art Centre there will be a very nice Cheese & Wine (Tickets R20 at the door). They are located in Du Toit Street, Parow and their phone number is 021 - 939 9293 for any queries or directions. My mom is one of the drawing teachers there, and I took Jewellery Design as a subject there when I was in High School - it is a great school and worth checking out!

Then just down the road, at Bellville Library's art gallery art.b is SCENES, a group exhibition by Lene Tempelhof (she is one of my lecturer's in the creative metal casting class), Verna Jooste & John Skotnes. I havn't seen any of their work so I am going to be pleasantly surprised! Can't wait!
