ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The print series was created during de Beer’s BAFA final exhibition in 2015. The abstract imagery was created using a page out of the dictionary wherein the words dyslexic should exist but do not. The word dyslexic did not enter the English dictionary until the late 1980s. The late inclusion of the word and its meaning adds to the misconceptions and stigmata surrounding the learning disorder.

I graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine art in Cape Town in 2015 with my BAFA majoring in printmaking. The following year I graduated with my honors in Curatorship in 2016. Since then I have been working within the creative industry both in galleries and currently in a framing studio. Over the years I have also taken part of various printmaking, bookbinding and book restoration internships to further my practical knowledge. During my studies and in my current artist practice, books and artist-books have been one of the main sources of inspiration for my work. This is rooted in the fact that I am dyslexic and my relationship with books and words is slightly different to the average reader. I have always been fascinated by a book's objectivity, how they act as carriers of knowledge and by words as imagery rather than carriers of meaning; as I could often not access the codes within words. Through my work I continue to explore the those relationships in the form of printmaking and book arts; further developing and expanding those concepts of words, knowledge and books.
