Image to come(Missing info)Exhibited in LiveWire (2006)
Reflects de Villiers’ interest in the resurgent sensibility of Gothic aesthetics, which her research describes as manifesting in times of extreme flux and anxiety.
A body of work reflecting de Villiers’ ongoing interest in the structural relationship between people, rites and artefacts.
