6:38 pm
way of living requirement for the 1st time. and in particular was that they went to the house in a single level that into 10 to lots. and. and so really we needed a lot of space for, for entertaining. and we made very big open plan gestures on the ground floor for the kitchen and kind of integrated into the space into the, into the entertainment space. and the challenges when you, when you're making space, it's like this, the kind of float is how do you keep them close their various strategies that we adopt to, to make them feel more intimate. but you know, in full africa we've got this amazing climates and um, and so it's the houses, it's a very open, it's open to the landscape. this huge doors it's, it's basically a dropbox that slipped from the ground. and these 2 defining planes, the one is the gone plane and the other one is the ceiling claim. and then these various objects would treat insert into that into that box. you know what i am looking forward to seeing everything around the house. the does inches
6:39 pm
really is an award winning illustrative that has received the cross code lou or your award. she is a female illustrate to that aims to bring her culturally inspired alt weeks into the male dominated graphic novel industry. lisk. it inspired, imagined zulu called to up in the skies the significance of my license. the collaboration was quite a big deal because it's something i never imagined would ever be able to do as an administrator. having my work on the interior, how the plane is not something i had in the plans, but i'm very thankful for the opportunity. it helps significance because i suppose i wanted to find the bigger platform to express south african culture and have people see it and takes him to call to, to this guy's name, j z z. there is an illustrate thing. his work not only showcases his skill as an
6:40 pm
artist, but also brings the representation of african culture as to the fold. she's a custodian, those really called stuff preserving tradition and educating others through eye catching illustrations. i would consider that illustration isn't necessarily a medium, it's a specialty. and within that specialty you can use many mediums to illustrate. and i chose illustration because it has great communicative power in the sense that you can communicate to a larger audience to visual appeal. and you can cross multiple languages and barriers between people just through the appeal and visual as a tell k, found it difficult to relate to illustrations in the cultural books, even though they would visually interesting. it didn't seem to characters she could relate to. now being an illustrator herself, it's motivated her to correct that imbalance in her work. i'm working on a comic book. the name of the comic book is nandita. the protector is in the kingdom. it's my passion project. it is literally by baby because it is actually
6:41 pm
inspired by my niece who was born recently. so it's named off to her. it's also story about a young girl who was trying to figure out what it's like to have dreams, where she needs with some of the ancestors and she learns different ways of life. she's quote between the suburbs and the township, and she's just navigating the world in between those 2 spaces. one of the characters is assigned to them and she is a guide for the main character and kind of gives her a little bit about life lessons that she can carry through out her own life. you know, i have relatives and my grandmother was also assigned to my so we kind of had that 1st hand experience of what a supplement is and what they do. and essentially a single mother, someone who kind of gives you a little bit more guidance, spiritual guidance on your life, and how to go about certain things with caution. and so i think kids work and leads
6:42 pm
to her own flu cold, so the also entices others to discover the traditions she aims to impact the education sector by integrating her illustrations with teaching literacy in south africa. this is because i grew up in the suburbs and i went to model c schools. so i didn't necessarily have that much of an understanding of my ancestors and the traditions of my culture. although whenever family did come together and have these traditions, i was always curious about what they meant, what they were. and i think it is important to bring it into our everyday lives and peace of mind everyday life because it hold significance. and, you know, it provides energy to keep me going from pages to goals for messages carried strongly through her images and the color. she uses this all to it gives a don't on the walls of jewels to tea in the same to of, to had his face. so my mural reps around the entire building. and the challenge
6:43 pm
that i had was to tell a story with the mural. the story behind the bureau is basically about a young girl who's traveling through town and she gets on a text the to the 1st we plan. and then the story, she picks up to the items, little pieces of attire, from the culture that she with. and through that journey she kind of understand her connection back to her own culture. i would like for people to look at the work, see a sense of brightness, be reminded of some child like quality and the way that they may be create. but the reason why i use bright tons of color throughout all my pallets is to try to foster a sense of joy and happiness. just a few steps from the mural is a place we some of our ideas came a live david crude projects. think is collaboration with the studio allows you to dip her feet in the 1st print making. this was a collaboration between myself and the director of the workshop, which is i'm
6:44 pm
a bo and the most to print to cover the series which is boxy catch break. each of the characters find themselves and these folk would predicaments within the city. and i kind of touch on stereotypes and the illustrations themselves. and stereotypes like the ways that foreigners are kind of portrayed in the city and how it, how it feels like as a person to one to escape south africa because of the things that are happening in our country. and i also touch on the comedic side of things because these creatures are awkward, and i feel like a lot of the viewers can identify themselves in each of the creatures and identify with how strange it can be to be in a city that's still developing. still recovering from all of its history and all of its costs and trying to be represented as something that's a little bit more diverse and more of a community. i think that it's important to break stereotypes because they form the
6:45 pm
fundamental of prejudice. and they kind of eliminate the need to see people as individuals. and i think that that need is really important. and this is why i tried to challenge stereotypes in my own work. we are a young country, i am the age of the democracy of our country. and i still believe that we have so much to offer as far to as illustrators and as individuals in general, being in control of how the countries were presented in some way, shape or form, i think is important so that the rest of the world can see south africa in a new contemporary light case work is a testament to the fact that by modernizing the messages of the cost we can learn when we come from and still appreciate how it is relevant to our present. i know back to you. great. now this house was built around
6:46 pm
a large indigenous tree. how did you incorporate the tree into the design of the house? you know, when we 1st came to this piece of land and the trees standing gloriously in the middle of off the stand. i'm not sure of the age, but it's very established and had a real presence on the sites and the youth was kind of a precious resource for us to design around. we use the tree as a kind of mock understand to determine like how to position the house. so you can see that this is the living room waiting a day to have the bedroom waiting. and we placed this living room where as close to the tree as we could so as not to disrupt its roots and at and comes damage us. thank you so much, greg. for your time. it is good to see sustainability taking center. stage. zanzibar, an occupational go just off the coast of pennsylvania is a power dies for those seeking and exotic and tropical escape,
