SOUTH AFRICAN, Pretoria based artist, studied architecture at the University of Pretoria and on graduating cumlaude, decided too flee the lands to the sweaty city of Bangkok, where she worked with two talented multidisciplanry architects Tom Danneck and Savinee Burnisiplan from thingsmatter on a series of installations and exhibitions for over a year. The effects of spending over two year discovering a new city and learning its language and culture is still present in her own philisophy and discourse of thinking,. Since departing from Asia, Ilze has been seeking sanity in the sleepy city of Pretoria, through writing, drawing, photogeaphy and finally painting.

HER PAINTINGS are often describe as resembling abstract landscapes, and although this is not entirely untrue, she prefers to call them ‘Dialogue Maps’.

Her architectural background is often an obvious influence in that work, but to her the best part of the painting is when she has the opportunity to ask the person viewing it, what it is they see, and no matter what answer they give her, what they see is always there, and this undescribable moment is what drives her to let each painting spill from it all the parts of her being.

HER PHOTOGRAPHY has been developing since she was gifted with her first camera at the age of 8. The medium of photography has often been one she has taken for granted, because of her ease of access to the medium, thus film and analogue photography is where she has expressed the most interest, especially in her Pinhole Photography projects which have also formalised into workshops which she facilitated in Pretoria and Prishtine, Kosovo at the DOkuFEST in 2013. Currently she is part of the Pretoria Street Photography collective and is experimenting with video.

HER DIGITAL PRINTS are a new endevour, and are closely related to her collaborative work with close friend Andjelina Dimitrova. Images are manioulated, stretched and combined using the range of tools available on a computer and various programmes, and whilst she does not practice as anarchitect, and considers never doing so because of her position on architecture in South Africa in general, her love for building, construction and detail design can be realised in the digital manupualt ion of images as building materials.

HER WRITINGS are entirely secret and can be found in her abundant collections of journals.
