For Dawnview resident Annalize Mynhardt being creative is just something that comes naturally.<\/p>\n

And her creativity is paying off as she has bagged a spot at an art gallery exhibition for her torso sculptures.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The Spring Exhibition takes place at the Judy Miller Art Gallery situated at the Mall of Africa, with opening night being tomorrow (Thursday) at 6pm.<\/p>\n

Annalize told the GCN that she has always been arty and took art at school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do mosaic and paint a bit, but then for a long time I stopped doing art as I was running my company Quartz Solutions, which is a telecommunications business,\u201d said Annalize.<\/p>\n

However, business slowed down and Annalize, who needs to make ends meet, has returned to her artistic ways.<\/p>\n

But this time she is creating something which takes intensive labour and even a bit of pain.<\/p>\n

She is creating torso sculptures made out of galvanised washers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI start by taking the galvanising off the washers and then using either a concrete or a paper mache mould I place the washers where I want them and start welding them together.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the washers are welded I start sculpting with a grinder, using fine sand paper.\u201d<\/p>\n
