M Contemporary -- Hannalie Taute and Eloise Cato

I was in Ruschutters Bay on 2 May and we popped into M Contemporary to have a look at two artitsts' work.

Eloise Cato uses a black substance to create vibrant and dynamic objects (see above). These look like something out of a Harry Potter movie, which I guess was the intention. Somehow they are both traditional and futuristic.

Hannalie Taute's work (above) uses an embroidered feature in large reproductions of historical photographs. There is a feminist dynamic here due to the use of a traditionally female medium (embroidery), as well as the association with outdated ideas belonging to the past. Punchy and interesting.
