Seshee Bopape presents in her first solo-show photographs, drawings,
objects and videos, as an installation of mystery and intrigue, a
maze of obsessiveness. Bopape is an artist who is interested in the
collection of material and their potential to invoke strong emotional
reactions. The resulting considered, abject messiness provides the
viewer entry into the netherworld of the unsaid and unspoken. Secrets,
white lies and elements of psychosexual ambivalence are components
on the artist’s palette, stirred and
applied with vigor to create a site for contemplation.
"My work
is a search through a minefield of metaphors in spaces...spaces of
memory and of the present, spaces of the real and the imagined, the
hidden and revealed. It is an attempt to conceal and mask, whilst
simultaneously attempting to peel away the husk and layers that crust
over secretive stories embedded in objects and in people”.
