Notes
Lisa Brice's embroidery piece, featuring the words Trellidoor locked? on army camouflage fabric, poignantly captures the pervasive sense of security and vigilance in South Africa. By choosing Trellidor, a renowned local brand known for its robust security gates, Brice taps into a cultural narrative where safety measures become part of daily life. This work is part of a series of embroidery on camouflage fabrics that include other questions such as Alarm on? — highlighting the constant dialogue South Africans have with their safety and security.
