About this Item

South African 1992-
You're No Angel Either
2021
punched Shweshwe fabric and thread
38,5 by 2cm by 0,1cm

Notes

"Her creations with multi coloured Shweshwe fabrics are stapled, coiled, threaded and painted over. Kavula plays with this fabric - its sentimental and cultural significance - whilst veering away from its intelligible significance to traditional (Sotho-Tswana) ceremony and gatherings. She plays with the neatness of meaning, interrogates the possibilities of scale, surface and materiality."1
