Jeannette Unite: Artist’s Talk
October 3, 2017, 7:00 PM
Free
Jeannette Unite is a visual artist who is immersed in the materiality of the art-making process, whether it’s using her own large, handmade chalk-based pastels with mineral oxides or using similar metal oxides in glass artworks, paintings, or prints. She uses images, information, and metaphors from mining as a point of departure for her reflections on her own personal journeys. She travels to mining and industrial sites for samples, to research and photographically record evidence of the residual remains of power, industrialization, and neocolonialism on the African landscape. She studied towards a B.F.A. at the Michaelis School of Art, University of Cape Town, and studied further at UNISA while teaching at Frank Joubert Art Centre until demand for her artwork propelled her into full-time art practice. She continues to live and work in, and travel from, her studio in Cape Town.
