DOMESTICS

New exhibition by Lesley Magwood Fraser opens at Fat Tuesday in Kloof on March 29.

“Growing up in the 60’s with three sisters and a mother who cooked and sewed for us all has left me with a strong sense of domestic life,” explains Lesley Magwood Fraser. “I have never sewed but two sisters followed in my mother’s footsteps, even making their own wedding dresses. Two of us love cooking. I prefer to express myself visually, combining drawing marks with collage for this body of work Domestics.

“Mixed media is my favourite way of working,” she continues. “My work is concerned with markmaking, using media such as graphite, lino prints, aquarelle crayon, collage, and ink washes. I enjoy exploring the element of chance with the methods used in my work, adding new meanings with each layer.”

Domestics runs from March 29 to April 16 at Fat Tuesday, Bellevue Campus, 5 Bellevue Road, Kloof. More information on 031 717 2785 and for directions, visit www.fattuesday.co.za
