Selwyn Steyn • Studies from the In-between
This body of work is about Gauteng, and perception and atmosphere and the built environment and a bunch of other things as well.
The light in Gauteng is of a particular quality. Something between gold (like that which is extracted) and yellow (like the extraction’s detritus). Something between aurum and uranium. Treasure and toxicity. This is particularly so of the winter light, which is a potpourri of dust and carbon and altitude and veld and gold.
