Notes

A series of three prayer mats for the everyday; celebrating the words
that land on your kitchen floor, the chatter of friends, Friday night
scenes, Sunday gatherings, chickens scratching in the sand. The
dressed-up and dressed-down moments that make up a patchworked story of place.

Sundays are days to congregate with family and friends, sitting
around tables and sharing meals together. Home-made meals,
the smell hanging in the air like comfort & nostalgia smothered
into one hot vet koek.

*Koeksister, those twisted sickly sweet pastries that should be
crunchy on the outside but cold and syrupy on the inside.
A labour of love to make, an instant to consume. Funny, how
some twisted people find themselves in the front row of
do-good and forgiveness on a Sunday, The moment of sweet is
fleeting, only to return next week to soften the crunch.
