Liza Grobler’s No More Worlds To Conquer

WORDS Michaela Stehr

Contemporary visual artist Liza Grobler’s latest installation No More Worlds To Conquer will bring out your inner child in the form of a 100m² blaze of woven yellow.

The interactive piece is made from plaited, woven and crocheted polypropylene rope and has been erected in the central atrium at Iziko’s South African National Gallery in Cape Town.

“I strive to shift perspectives by creating spaces that might be reminiscent of dreams,” says Liza about her work. “Ambivalent spaces that should not exist in the ‘real world’, but do for a short time, and then live on in memory. These spaces are created through repetitive, seemingly insignificant, actions.”

No More Worlds To Conquer forms part of the Women’s Work exhibition. This is a summer exhibition curated by Ernestine White honouring South African artists and designers using craft and thread in their work.

No More Worlds To Conquer has been sponsored by Nando’s Art.
