Joburg: Space/Place
10December 16, 2020 by petrujviljoen
Joburg CBD, from Doornfontein to Newtown. A personal map I traversed end to end, by black taxi, by bus, mostly walking. What would be a sharp corner smoothly rounded, negotiating pedestrians, street vendors, traffic, in harmony with the inherent rhythm set by the people who used it.
The broad, instant scan, the noticing in-motion, heart, mind, sight open in the midst of an apparent chaos. The order, once understood, carried one as if in a stream (of consciousness if you like).
Decay, renewal, side by side seeming seamless.

When we know a place, it does become part of us. (K)
True!! Lived there for 15 years!
Kerfe, btw, your ATC arrived! About a week ago.
Finally! I’m glad.
So am I! Its a beaut. Thanks.
Yours has still not arrived. But I just got something last week mailed in August….
Patience! – of which I have very little!
First sight made me think of Braque. I like your vision, the flow of human movement.
Thank you Jane. It’s an older work I hauled from storage to present to Arteye Gallery and it got accepted!
Congratulations and well deserved!
