Precious - An Exhibition of Glass Objects by Rebecca Townsend at the Irma Stern Museum 4 > 29 March 2008
The fleet of 'paper boats' speak of the ephemeral nature of things. The central themes of this exhibition are of the precious ordinary and of the loss of pleasure in the simple things in life. Until the recent 'consumer age' hit us, most children were content with the making and playing with toys such as these. There is such a sense of ownership and confidence in the hand-made, that when the toy is destroyed by the elements, our natural sense of loss is respected and understood, rather than dismissed, misunderstood and pathologically repressed.
