SWEET TOOTH
Gabrielle Kruger's painted confections.
Text and studio photographs by Alix-Rose Cowie
In Autumn 2020, writer and photographer Alix-Rose Cowie dropped by Cape Town, South Africa-based artist Gabrielle Kruger’s vibrant, sun-dappled studio. Kruger prepares paint by drying it into vibrant, weavable strips and “paintglomerate” rocks, creating a process-driven, colorful approach to defining how paint can be manipulated into woven forms and sculptures.
