Mariëtte Kotzé

Mariëtte Kotzé has a special interest in how ink-wash painting can be used as a means of alternative photography. By capturing transient moments on paper or a lens surface upon which she mixes various translucent fluids, Kotzé digitally documents ethereal interactions between inks and pigmented substrates. In doing so, she captures images that can never again be created. Her limited-edition fine art prints act as the only physical products of these captured moments, which are oftentimes visually reminiscent of cosmic or underwater scenes, areal views, or even worlds as seen under a microscope.
