About "Big Kwaaitjie"

This artwork is about having the determination and staying power to get through challenges and get stuff done. Kwaaitjie is not a mean character, he/she/it is a stoic figure with plenty of grit and attitude. It is an unstoppable force with deep reserves of perseverance.

This is the large version of one of my first small sculptures.

About Landia

Landia Davies is a contemporary South African sculptress. Her sculptures are about the power of vulnerability. They are invitations to cherish naivety and value playfulness in the midst of complexity and life's challenges.

Her current body of work is about celebrating our raw human emotions and forging our individual identities with disregard (even defiance) for tidy labels and categories.

Landia wants the viewer to ask "What is it?" and hopefully find that defining the form is not as important as feeling its state of being. Gender and genus don't really matter.

As a shy human Landia is finding her voice and her sculptures are the manifestations of this process.

Currently, Landia works near Swellendam in the Western Cape.
