Glitches, Set in Stone 2022 | Tina Skukan Gallery Pretoria

Elzabe came across a collection of stones that contemporary sculptor, Angus Taylor, was working on. The absolute beauty of the raw materials and the seamless creation of the artwork mesmerised her. All five stones now have pride of place at the entry to her home and each time she views them she sees something different. The feelings these beautiful works evoke made her wonder if she could capture how she sees them and so her recent series of works SET IN STONE developed.

Her paintings explore the permanence of the stones and yet how her perception of them change every time she looks at them. Each stone is distinct and unique, but together they contain the stories from their past to now. Millions of years contained in a still form.
