Badenhorst's awareness of nature through the rapport she has experienced with the rugged coastline near Port Elizabeth, provides her with a powerful medium to explore her subject - the woman. Through the distortion of forms, the strong use of colour, and fragmentation of images, the artist transforms rock into figure, vice versa. Dismembered images of the female are either led to destruction or are infused with the vital forces of organic and mineral life. "Terra mater/the rape" is a headless cry for help.
Badenhorst comes to terms with her own body and technique in "Inner landscape of the female" (1998 & 2000). "Our bodies are our life-long companions: in sickness and in health". "Diagnosis" is concerned with sensory images. The scale and rhythm of the body cannot be ignored, neither the burning anguish of hands in this acute self-diagnosis.
