Hall 5    Stand W15

Fact presents a range of limited edition, upmarket hand bags, travel bags and cosmetic bags as well as cushions, selected homeware, coasters and cards. This unique selection of products are made up with carefully chosen images, photographed by myself, of scenes depicting Southern Africa.  Each year we introduce new images and new products to our unique range.

This year I have three new themes.  "Vintage Wildlife Photo Album" where I have worked images to look like an old photo album.  I have printed this range onto a natural canvas making it all the more authentic.  

My second theme is Patterned "African Insects". Here I have had fun creating patterns with insects and superimposing them on enhanced patterned photographs.  

My third theme is using typography within my photos.  I have called this theme "South Africa". It is simple and clear and will work well in curio shops. 

I believe that I am achieving what I set out to do; establishing an honest production process which benefits those involved in it and creating a space for myself to share my artistic expression in a unique way which portrays what my country has to offer.
