Pseudo weg (Antjie Krog)#3

"The work references Arabic influence on Afrikaans, and the word Pseudo (meaning "not genuine") is representative of the artificial socio-political system of apartheid which the Afrikaner nationalists imposed.

My art making therefore probes an identity which is in a constant state of flux, and which exists in a luminal space of past and present, inside and outside, front and back, inclusion and exclusion."
