“Her candidness regarding personal flaws and the cycles of repression and coping that accompany conservative, middle class, Afrikaans upbringing inform much of her work, calling attention to ways in which women are silenced or otherwise repressed in that space.”

“She works in a wide variety of media in her artwork, producing sculptures, objects, prints, film, and more, which she often bases on personal experiences and self exploration.”

“Shopping and clothing is part of my family’s culture. If something is wrong, you go buy a dress.”

“If I had something I always wanted something else, I’m just that sort of person.”
