About this programme item

In Meeting Point, Davina de Beer explores the convergence of thread and paint as ways through which unexpected connections emerge. These connections are investigated through cutting, fragmenting, reassembling, and stitching, treating the canvas surface as layered with hidden traces. Her work draws parallels between the body and architectural structures, using this interplay to reflect on themes of loss. The connections that arise — sometimes intentional, sometimes coincidental — emerge through the process of making and become central to her creative inquiry. Meeting Point reflects on the quiet beauty found in an incomplete experience; the use of raw canvas, unfinished painted and stitched forms speaks to imperfection, remnants of memories, present insecurity, and the visible marks of a lived experience. The paintings remain deliberately unsettled: contrasting in scale, with interrupted rhythms, surfaces in a state of repair, and unfinished forms that seem to wait. This tension between completion and incompletion invites viewers into an ongoing inquiry, where the process of making and mending becomes as meaningful as the final form itself.

The exhibition is on display from 2 October to 13 November 2025.
