Meet the Artist

Wim Botha is best known for his installation works and sculptures in various media.  His immersive and experimental approach looks for meaning in material and explores radical form. The intent is for an experience of pause, recalibration and visual excitement, and to connect ideas across time.

For Open Studios he presents tea bowls and other vessels that he makes, borrowing from the Japanese tradition. The intention is to produce a singular object that is evocative of the natural world that surround us, especially the rocks, mosses, lichens and beaches of the greater Kommetjie area. His approach holds lightly onto tradition while experimenting irreverently with clay bodies, form and glaze. The bowls are high fired stoneware in wood or gas kilns, and each one is unique and irreproducible.
