'Promised land' is a body of work that plays on some of the 'faultlines' running through contemporary South Africa - disparities in wealth, contests of ownership over symbols and cultural objects, the threat to stability offered by the dispossessed, new struggles with their conflicted relationship to the old Struggle. Was it land that was promised; is this the land that was promised? The exhibition combines sampled and manipulated mass-produced objects with fictional artefacts to produce a wry commentary on South Africa now.

of Stone'. The name of each artwork above links to a photograph and more information
