When I was a 20-year-old art student at the Univer When I was a 20-year-old art student at the University of Pretoria. I am currently working on a series of essays I wish someone wrote to me at that young age. The journey of an artist is tricky like the Sun it will either burn you away or light the way. 🌚🌞 #anjamarais #tukkies #artjourney #artstudent #artistintemaking #sineadoconnorhair

I am a recipient of a Harpo Foundation Grant, to s I am a recipient of a Harpo Foundation Grant, to support my ongoing project inspired by South African activist Steve Biko. Biko’s work hallmarked a movement of integrating that which we have fragmented. Not merely ceasing the behaviors of repression, but liberating ourselves from the intent of tearing society apart. His writings are a roadmap to intersectionality and attentiveness to the world. I am very grateful to Harpo Foundation for supporting my work. Thank you. 🙏 #harpofoundationgrant #harpofoundation2020 #anjamarais #artiststudio #art #artinprogress #contemporaryartist
I will always remember this moment. ☆ When this I will always remember this moment. ☆ When this magical child was in my studio. I experienced enchantment through her eyes - how she sees everything with illumination. ☆ Remember to remember the child within. ☆ "The enchanted life is one which is intuitive, which embraces wonder, and fully engages the creative imagination – but it is also deeply embodied, ecological, grounded in place and community. It flourishes on work that has heart and meaning; it respects the instinctive knowledge and playfulness of children. It understands the myths we live by; thrives on poetry, song and dance. It loves the folkloric, the handcrafted, the practice of traditional skills. It respects wild things, recognises the wisdom of the crow, seeks out the medicine of plants. It rummages and roots on the wild edges, but comes home to an enchanted home and garden. It is engaged with the small, the local, the ethical; enchanted living is slow living." - Sharon Blackie @captaincricket #sharonblackie #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #anjamarais #slowliving #enchantment #☆
I am so looking forward to next year. Oh, the joy I am so looking forward to next year. Oh, the joy to have 2020 behind us, plus I will spend a few months in one of my favorite places - Taos. I will attend an artist residency at The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation of New Mexico later in 2021. Their first grantee in 1954 was Agnes Martin (pic of her in her studio). Today the @wurlitzerfoundation is the oldest artist residency program west of the Mississippi. For over sixty years, the program has brought hundreds of visual artists, writers and composers to the desert. #agnesmartin #helenewurlitzer #artresidency #anjamarais #wurlitzerfoundation #womenartists
