COMPILED BY Malibongwe Tyilo IMAGES Andile Dyalvane
In our Winter issue (VISI 78), we featured Imiso Ceramics founder Andile Dyalvane’s new leather artworks, which he was about to show at Art Santa Fe, an art fair in New Mexico this past July.
While he was in Santa Fe, not only did he snap pics of his trip for us, he brought back cool nuggets of information that made us look at this historic town with fresh eyes. After the art fair, he headed to California to host a few workshops, and we’re lucky enough to have pictures of his time there as well.
Browse our gallery above for an inside look into his exciting journey to the US.
