David Krut Print Workshop has been collaborating with Wilma Cruise to produce three new prints: Harrismith, Chanticleer and I can(t) see. These three works were created to coincide with her current solo exhibition Cocks, Asses, & : I Can’t Hear, and were based on three sculptures created by Cruise. The prints address the issue of communication, or rather, miss-communication. Cruise was specifically interested in what could be called ‘pre-language’, or the gap that must be crossed in order for people and animals to communicate. Cruise explains that these works are “yet another exhortation to listen to the earth, to each other and to the animals.”

Since arriving in Jo’burg last Thursday, Andrzej hasn’t stopped working. He’s been creating more monotypes, as well as developing his four etching plates.
