“Pivot” is inspired by life drawings from Elsabé Milandri’s sketchbook. The gestural, fluid, lithe lines speak of a shift in posture, a shift in perception; the continual adapting, responding and adjusting of “in-between” movement that has come to characterise the year 2020. She describes the experience of life drawing beautifully:

“[It includes] all the mis-looking and re-looking, the feeling of shape and negative space, the gravity and lightness of limb and stretch, the process of it all.”

Milandri (based in Cape Town) has held solo exhibitions in South Africa and Switzerland. Her work is taken up in private collections in the UK, USA, and throughout Europe.

Note on the frame: Meet-in-the-making prints are framed in Kiaat (African teak). Kiaat is a dark red-brown to pastel brown timber that has blonde streaks in the wood. The colour of the frame may vary from a dark brown to almost orange with the characteristic blonde streaks.
