Life journey, wall devining elements
Willie Bester talked allot about his life,s jouney growing up in Montague during the apartheid era and being oppressed, till, now finaly being celebrated as an artist.
A journey is taken to arrive at the location and then entering the property through an enclosed space representing the oppression and the first sight as you approach is the re bars protruding from a large wall plane configured to be militaristic and oppressive. Then entering living spaces through a large door and immediately viewing everyday living areas like a featured braai and Dover stove, daybeds etc. Moving through life ”living spaces” and series of life's up and downs as floor levels and stories change. At the back of the building (through his art) art studio exiting and entering the open space of the desert. And just above that an meditation space where you are not able to see any part of the building butt the large rammed earth walls and nature.
