Evanescence

Excerpt from Franci Cronjé, artist and chairperson of SASOL New Signatures Art Competition 2009, Award Speech:

“When an artist manages to marry a sophisticated concept with emotion that leaves the judges with collective gooseflesh after reading the artist’s statement, one knows that this is a very special work of art. How can one relate remembering, forgetting, and a feeling of loss? This work speaks of loss of identity and feeling of belonging, and longing… I am sure that this work speaks to many of us standing here, on different levels, be it emotionally or academically, or dramatically. Somehow, we can all relate. That is the ingredient of an outstanding work of art".
