Friday Feature Artist - Willemien de Villiers

Based in Muizenberg, Cape Town, Willemien is a versatile artist, working with words, paints, and ceramics. Her art focuses on everyday fabrics with histories - stained, torn, mended, embroidered - showcasing the beauty and hardships of life in these textiles.
Willemien's work delves deep, seeking a balance between universality, stability, change, and growth. It's a testament to how beauty can emerge from trauma and how challenging norms can lead to more thoughtful systems. Her textile creations go beyond traditional culture, subverting the idea of embroidery as a delicate feminine activity to reveal its powerful communicative potential.
