The Androgyny series aims to celebrate the gender fluid and ambiguous. In Greek, andros means "male" and gyn means "female." I think its important to highlight that many ancient tribes and cultures recognized 4/5 genders so the idea of binary gender is somewhat new and backward at the same time. Androgyny I was created using 1271 plastic building blocks each adhered together, and doubly reinforced onto a white plexiglass backing. The backing comes with a french cleat hanging system so no framing is required. I work exclusively in plastic building blocks. This tactile medium creates similtaneous relevance as well as nostalgia. I love watching people when they realize what the medium is, and the overwhelming need to touch the artwork followed by the brain screaming, 'You can't touch artwork'. I'm always right behind them, reassuring them that its okay to touch it.

South Africa
I am a 35 year old artist and designer who lives in Cape Tow, South Africa with the husband, the kid and 2 cats. I am a founding partner of successful designer clothing brand, adam&eve having participated in numerous fashion weeks and international exhibitions for the past 10 years. A year ago, I shifted my focus to Art, Interior design and working with new materials. I am current working exclusively with tiny plastic building blocks. My fascination with creating large-scale works from plastic building blocks comes from my love of minute detail and intricate patterns. I discovered the art of tessellation on a recent trip to Morocco. I loved how every surface was painstakingly adorned to perfection, and the appreciation from both locals and visitors. Tessellation is a highly symmetric, edge-to-edge tiling using a simple porcelain shape. I hope to highlight and recreate the art form of tessellation in a modern way using plastic building blocks. This medium creates an intense nostalgia and relevance for all ages. I absolutely love watching people realize that the artwork is created with building blocks. Followed by the overwhelming need to touch the artwork because its such a tactile medium, and the sheer happiness they feel when I reassure them that they can indeed touch it. It makes me so happy.
