‘Eugenics’ 2023 by Hannalie Taute
Showing in Gallery May 16th – 30th
Hannalie Taute (b. 1977) started her life’s journey in a small town called Fochville in Gauteng, South Africa.
In 2000, she obtained a National Higher Diploma in Fine Art at PE Technicon (now the NNMU). A decade ago she started working with rubber and particularly repurposed rubber inner-tubes, and in 2012 she added embroidery to her list of preferred media.
Taute uses her art to escape into a fantasy world of her own making, the works are the culmination of research into emotion, psychology and fantasy within that world. She finds inspiration in myths, legends, lyrics, literature and especially fairy tales. She is drawn to the universality of these ancient stories which exist all over the world and point to a common humanity, it is often just the title of an original fairy tale that remains, within her works.
