Blastula

Blastula

/ About the exhibition

Blastula was showcased at the Sessions Programme exhibition called “Pomegranate” in Woodstock, Cape Town from October 3–10, 2023.

The act of repeating patterns and motions through knotting, weaving, and using a punch needle creates a rhythm that evokes a sense of calm and order amidst chaos, reflecting the dual themes of sanctuary and dread in Meintjes’s magic realist landscapes.
