”Bonewoman” - work by Dina CormickAn exhibition of hand carved icons and ceramics by Dina Cormick.
The African Art Centre is hosting an exhibition titled Celebrating Women by Dina Cormick.
“My main focus is always to honour the stories within every woman,” explains the artist. “Whether we dance for the revolution or search for bones in the desert, there are memories to be shared.
“In the visual re-telling of these stories, I am fascinated by the blurred distinction between imagination and symbolism, between dream-time and awake-time. The artworks are presented as icon triptychs. The concept of the "icon" is to re-present the story with the intimacy of encounter one experiences by opening a small icon to meditate. The viewer can thus interact on a very personal level with each icon.
Celebrating Women runs in conjunction with Women's Month and will open on August 5 to remain on show for three weeks after this date. Dina Cormick is a female artist whose work celebrates life and significance of women in South African societies.
