Interrupted Daydreams
An exhibition by Liza Grobler | Spier Wine Tasting Centre
10 May – 26 July 2013
This exhibition presents a selection of mixed media drawings and beadworks, created in association with the Qubeka Bead Studio, “…that dart between our tangible reality, the fantastical spaces we fabricate and the borrowed words that swim through our minds.” -Grobler
Since receiving her Masters Degree in Fine Art with distinction from Stellenbosch University, Liza Grobler (b. 1974) has dabbled in a diverse range of media, embracing bright colour and often incorporating traditional craft techniques to create site-specific work. Her art is a conversation between image, language and daily life. Having completed numerous works in collaboration, the Qubeka Bead Studio and Grobler have established a rare working relationship.
Qubeka was founded, in association with the Jeanetta Blignaut Art Consultancy, in 2007 by the pioneering members of the original Qalo Bead Studio. Today, its principle artists, Neliswa Skiti, Nolubabalu Kanku and Mandisa Masina are training and employing other beaders in order to keep up with the demand for their highly unique works created from glass seed beads.
