Alexis Preller’s work on the wall, my interpretation on the plinth below.

“In November 2012 The New Church Museum, South Africa’s first contemporary art museum, opened its doors to the public. We are continuously invigorated through collaborations with South Africa and Africa’s leading curators, artists, thinkers, cultural commentators, and wine connoisseurs, finding innovative ways to engage with and enjoy the art of our time. And so it continues with this fabulous taste experience designed by sensory food curator Caro de Waal.” – Kirsty Cockerill, Director.

7 ‘pairings’ were created using my own interpretations of what the works ‘tasted’ like, to me.

Cameron Platter’s work, my glowing eggs.

For Penny Siopis’ work, my crystals and figs.

For part of the collective works by … my copper chocolate orb.
