non-traditional materials with<br />

(b.1953. Cape Town-based.)<br />
Hannelie Coetzee<br />
A Gauteng-based artist with<br />
a particular interest in working<br />
in public spaces. Her work<br />
can be said to be environmentalpolitically<br />
charged, celebrating<br />
‘eco-queerness’. She is a previous<br />
participant. (b.1971. Johannesburgbased.)<br />
Wilma Cruise<br />
One of the country’s foremost<br />
artists working in fired clay.<br />
Her art, often featuring animals,<br />

participant. (b.1945. George-based.)<br />

Jacques Dhont<br />
The Congo-born artist drew<br />
attention at the beginning of his<br />
career with his figurative sculptures<br />
from invasive shrubbery in early<br />
messaging about environmental<br />
awareness. He participates for<br />
the first time. (b.1959. Paarl-based.)<br />
Guy du Toit<br />
‘Sculptor’ sits comfortably with<br />
this artist who works with dexterity<br />
in various media. His work is<br />
particularly known for its instant<br />
affinity with viewers. This year’s<br />
theme fits perfectly. He is<br />
a previous participant. (b.1958.<br />
Swavelpoort-based)<br />
Conrad Hicks<br />
A blacksmith who wears the title<br />
with finely-tuned artistic comfort.<br />
Metal is his metier – its basic link<br />
to the human spirit is his<br />
exploration and endorsement.<br />
He is a first-time participant.<br />
(b.1966. Cape Town-based)
