ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I first devised and employed this woollen dust on paper medium in 2004 and have developed it in my practice over a number of years in various ways. It remains for me primarily associated with the transient nature of all things, including my own existence. The Lullaby series of drawings was born out of my concern with species extinction. Each lost species will, in time, fade into the living memory of a few, and then fewer, and eventually will exist only as a record of something that was lost. This series is my sad farewell to lost species. The grid structure of these drawings, one I've used in other series, is a reference to our need to partially obscure what we see and what we know in order to survive the pain of loss. The process of making these wool dust and archival glue on paper drawings is painstaking and delicate. It takes a number of hours to construct these works.

Bonita Alice
South Africa
I am a South African artist based in Cape Town, South Africa. I lectured in Sculpture in Johannesburg before moving to London in 2007. I returned to South Africa in 2020. My work reflects my concern with our emotional dependence on the natural environment, and our conflicted and inconsistent relationship with other animals. I am preoccupied with the idea, reflected in my artistic practice, that we suffer some kind of emotional disruption when we are inattentive and don’t recognise our duty of stewardship to the natural world of which we are a part. The result is internal, or emotional, chaos - individual or collective - in the human world which is expressed in external crises; in environmental destruction, for example. My work is included in numerous private and public collections, including the Johannesburg Art Gallery, The Durban Art Gallery, The UNISA (University of SA) Art Gallery, The SA Reserve Bank, Standard Bank Collection, WAM (Art Museum of the University of the Witwatersrand).
