HIDE, HAIR, HISTORY

("Jackal and coq" by Dagmar de Kok)

Hide, Hair, History is an exhibition of ceramic sculpture by Dagmar de Kok which opened this evening at the KZNSA in its Main Gallery.

The basis of Dagmar de Kok's creative process is formed by a combination of visual stimuli from every-day life, and historic awareness. The artist draws on a combination of storytelling, illusion and emotions to create these mythological sculptures.

Dagmar de Kok is a Dutch-born ceramic artist who has spent time in South Africa and exhibited at the KZNSA in 2005. The work on show for Hide, Hair, History is inspired by traditional South African folktales and everyday life in Durban.

The KZNSA Gallery is at 166 Bulwer Road, Glenwood. For more information contact 031 277 1705, email gallery@kznsagallery.co.za or visit www.kznsagallery.co.za
