I just realized that I had never posted about this!
In January 2023, SAQA announced a call for a new virtual online gallery: Body Language.
This is the theme: “We not only speak with our voices but also with our bodies. It is estimated that 60% of communication is visual. Our nonverbal expressions, such as a raised eyebrow, a waving hand and crossed arms can convey many different pieces of information. From subtle motions to expressive gestures, these unspoken pronouncements add depth to our stories. How can you use body language to inspire and enhance your work?”
The selected artists were announced in March, but the gallery didn’t go online until April. I got focused on other projects, and never posted about this (although I did post on Instagram).
I submitted ‘Gone Sailing’ and I’m honoured to have it included in this collection.
The Body Language online gallery (thumbnails below) can be seen here on the SAQA website. You can click on any square image to launch the slideshow.
There are some wonderful artworks in this collection curated by Fuzzy Mall. On the SAQA site, be sure to click See Details under each image to find out more about each piece, including additional images and artist statements.
