Mandy Johnston's latest exhibition uses burning steel wool sculptures and ash paintings to explore ritual, transformation and the transitions that shape our lives
If you have been to the supermarket lately and found shelves mysteriously missing steel wool, I can explain. It was Mandy Johnston. She bought every roll of steel wool. To burn it.
Okay, okay, maybe I am exaggerating a bit.
Let me rewind. Johnston is a South African artist. She has an exhibition, titled Gatherer, on at the Berman Contemporary All Women Art Gallery, V&A Waterfront, in Cape Town.
Where does the steel wool fit in?
