OPENING: Drift Woods | Elmari Steyn @ Vasse Felix

Drift Woods is a solo exhibition by Elmari Steyn featuring a considered selection of recent art works. Steyn’s unique-state etching prints take the viewer into a wandering, many-pathed narrative journey; into exquisitely detailed worlds of wonder, sadness and delight. Drawing on her background in Namibia, Steyn folds personal stories into the familiar subject matter of trees and boats, often pictured in unison. Trees and boats become places of mystery that compel the imagination. They hold memories and emotions. Tree houses and boat houses feature as evocative of the idea of home, as well as holding a sense of child-like wonder and playfulness. Throughout the works there is a frisson between transience and stasis, between putting down roots and taking to the skies or seas. Drift Woods, enables you to consider these states of stillness and movement as you enter and drift through entrancing realms of the imagination.
