"Deep Water Oil Spill" by Bronwen Salton

Domestic art can speak with a larger voice. Bronwen Salton has taken the plastic art of crochet and brought immediacy to the effects of what we often thoughtlessly discard.

“Using waste as a medium also lends an embedded meaning to the work. It speaks of our relation to the environment and our relation to art. It demonstrates that we can be constructive and solve the problems that we create…”

In addition to her fine art installations, Salton is co-founder of the community business Masimbambane, which provides participants an opportunity to sell their wares at events such as the Grahamstown National Arts Festival.
