“My intentions with developing an extended #bodyofwork under the title #iThongo is to highlight a gathering of #dreams, seated in the soul, held by the spirits of our #ancestors. #Symbols are #visualtools harnessed to more effectively impart meanings within messages – codes, if you will – that aid #stories. The #language of dreams is symbolic and therefore realised as uyalezo, messages from our ancestral #spirits.” - @andiledyalvane📷 @southernguildgallery#imisoceramics

@andiledyalvane’s work - from #iThongo - uMalusi now watches over his home #village of Ngobozana. The “shepherd” or “the watcher”, now looks over his #ancestors’ graves and serves as offering to the surrounding villages. An invitation to grieve what is lost, come together in song and #heal the scars of the #past.📷 @southernguildgallery#imisoceramics

May 12

Distinct from her more functional #ceramics for Imiso, Poswa’s large-scale sculptural works for #SouthernGuild explore her personal experience and #heritage. Her first major series paid tribute to the practice of umthwalo (load), in which rural women carry heavy bundles of wood, buckets of water or parcels on their heads, often walking long distances on foot. Her subsequent series, #Magodi, looks to the #sculptural forms of traditional #African hairstyles, such as the Bantu knot and #dreadlock, and the central role that #hairsalons play as a meeting place for women.Each work is named after a #family member or close #friend, giving a vivid, physical form to the artist’s own support network.📷 @southernguildgallery#imisoceramics
