What role do art foundations play in South Africa? Optimistically, they will widen the audience for art and keep more artists in the black. Which are the most important art collections in the country? The Johannesburg Art Gallery and Cape Town’s National Gallery. Why is collecting art important? It isn’t, but when you begin to do so it rewards the heart and mind.
A prominent fabric trend to keep an eye out for? Natural fabrics with textures: we are seeing a lot of textiles made from natural fibres or plants. Your advice for planning a new look for a room? One of the easiest ways to transform a room is with paint and textiles. A fabric artist making waves at the moment? I’m totally in love with Evolution Product.
Your favourite home-cooked dish for winter? A 24-hour tripe ramen. I like the process of making the stock from scratch the day before. Signature dinner-party dish? My dinner parties feature build-your-own poké bowls. The last meal that truly impressed you? It’s a tie between my meal at Le Sirenuse in Positano, Italy, and one at La Tête in Cape Town.
