Notes
"For some time now, Jacobus Kloppers’ work focuses on the concept of travel, the realisation and discovery of landmarks and indicators along the way, and, especially, how it impacts on the psyche. He has walked a long way – initially through depictions of objects (dams, drinking troughs, gates, etc.) along roads leading through the Karoo landscape, later the road itself as a (non) place, and, more recently, by focusing on road signs as indicators of place, distance and direction."—Cobus van Bosch
