This exhibition presents two distinct yet interconnected bodies of work that communicate through different mediums, but share a common language—one of reflection, memory, and the emotional imprint of landscape.

Landscape Oil Paintings, this series of abstract oil landscapes offers a quiet meditation on place, mood, and the shifting dance between light and dark. Rendered in earthy, muted sepia tones, the paintings move away from detail and realism, focusing instead on evocation—echoing the afterglow and residue of a landscape that might feel familiar. Each piece blurs the boundary between memory and geography, evoking a sense of having been somewhere known, yet unnamed. The works suggest a form of internal cartography—emotional terrain shaped by familiarity, solitude, and the universal language of land and light. Their blurred textures and layered impressions mirror the way memory settles over time, like sediment. They ask not what was seen, but how it was felt.

Pojagi Clothworks, the second body of work, is a collaboration between artist Genna Shrosbree and Thembelihle Nodendwa, a member of her studio team at Beagle and Basset. Rooted in the Korean pojagi tradition of patchwork cloth, these textile pieces celebrate growth, resourcefulness, and the beauty of process. What began as a way for Shrosbree to teach Thembi to sew evolved into a deeply symbolic project, incorporating every offcut into something whole. These clothworks speak to circular making and human development—learning, layering, growing. Much like Italian cooking, which uses every bone and scrap to create something rich and full, these pieces become metaphors for transformation—turning what might otherwise be discarded into art. Together, the oil paintings and textile works present two distinct expressions of presence: one gestural and shadowed, the other pieced and light-filled. They converge in the space between the remembered and the made, where form dissolves into feeling.
