The studios, KwaZulu-Natal
These photographs were taken in September, in the studios in KwaZulu-Natal. What is on those tables is what came off the boat last month.
A piece leaves with two names on it, the one who sculpted it and the one who painted it. The spots go on one at a time, so a leopard takes a week.
Sculptors who trained at one studio open their own and keep working with the painters they learned beside. One piece at a time, and it adds up.
