Timed Online Auction, 2 - 24 February 2025

Botterblom Collection
About the Session

The collective of artisans, working at Frances VH Mohair Studio, has created a space where vision, dedication, storytelling and shared purpose coalesce through the power of creative agency and voice. Their latest project, the impactful Botterblom Collection, traces aspects of daily life that pulse through a street in a neighbourhood in Prince Albert. Woven from the dreams, hopes and fears of everyday life, the collection is a celebration of the beauty inherent in imperfection while also showcasing and contributing to material culture. What emerges from the collection is sensual, deeply spiritual and unique work, taking on the name of the street to honour the marks of time embedded in place.

Notes

Sometimes all we need is a shoe moment.
Mooi né has red heels, but in the light, they look more like
cracked lips, remnants of red lipstick clinging badly to the dry.
Best reapply or add Zam-Buk.
Mooi né honours warp and the importance of shape and form.
Colours and curves that make you feel a certain way.
Add texture, light and movement and we are dancing.
We may have cracked lips, but not all art forms can move.
