DAYFEELS

Posted by SELFI

Dayfeels is the creative sobriquet of South African artist and photographer, Amor Coetzee. The inspiration for her work stems from a deep appreciation for the landscape, the ocean and the properties of water. Amor is very drawn to a clean and muted aesthetic and work through a process of elimination, starting out with a lot of detail and removing bit by bit until only the very essence remains. Her work tries to communicate a sense of calm, as subtle as susurrus. Dayfeels Illustrations are based on aphorisms- a metaphorical phrase which embodies a feeling, these phrases are used to create simple line drawings.

An extension of her artworks, the ceramic side of Dayfeels, lets her experiment more with texture, contrast, abstract shapes and patterns to create hand-made, one of a kind earthernware pieces.

GITHAN COOPOO

Posted by SELFI

Githan Coopoo is a creative from Cape Town who makes simplistic, sculpted jewellery items by hand. His abstract pieces have beautiful organic shapes and are crafted out of unexpected and innovative materials like clay. Coopoo is steadily increasing his jewellery line’s impact through fashion and is
constantly inspired by different things such as volume, India, what we consider to be opulent and how that changes as well as queer culture.
He works exclusively with clay in making ceramic jewellery. As a medium, he feels that it is deeply universal and a commonplace. He believes that there is a paradox that exists with elevating an everyday or seemingly mundane material into something quite precious and rich. The ceramics are fragile and delicate, more so than metals or traditional minerals which he feels inhances its beauty. He believes that conventional jewellery is prized and considered precious because of the worth and value of the materials used, whereas his jewellery is also precious – not for its monetary value, but because it is delicate, and must be cared for.
