Artist Statement
Grace Cross (b. Harare, Zimbabwe 1988) is a material painter who draws symbols about motherhood, home, belief structures, and land; making shipting recipe's rooted in feminism, history, performative archaeology and African cosmology, to reflect her experiences of cultural transmission. Her painting practice, since the birth of her daughter, focuses on female storytelling, spirituality, and mining symbols of motherhood in her lush and colourfilled canvases. Her paintings seek to represent a cosmological world, where paint weaves images together to work as spells or incantations. The painded symbols thread ideas together, daming and mending, compositionally sewing the symbolic into the real, tethering the objects to one another. She traces a history of laboring women, their bloodline, their red thread of fate, through her paintings - <em>placenta red, metnrual red, nipple-suked-raw red. </em>This is the tie that binds - an umbilical cord - the maternal line. The thread is fine buth strong; it will not come undone; even as it unspools, running from the distant past to the present, from one canvas to another. Cross lives and works as a mother and painter in Cape Town

Artist Statement
<p class="p1">I’ve been a working artist, curator, community activist and teacher for more than 25 years, creating and producing intimate solo performances, large-scale public happenings, socially engaged interventions and performance art workshops and lectures. My practice extends across black boxes and white cubes, art fairs and subway stations, international festivals, and single bathroom stalls. I’ve operated an artist-run newsstand in a vacant subway station kiosk, a soup kitchen for artists, a breast milk tasting bar, and a performance festival hub for kids. I’m forever inspired by the rebel queers, renegade witches, and other dyke moms I run with, and bound to many brilliant artists, activists, spell-casters and healers. <span class="s1">For many years I made performances that drew from my own experiences of trauma and transformation, intimacy and motherhood. More recently, I’ve experienced a shift in my practice, where my attention has turned to wider theoretical questions about the nature of performance itself to </span>ask questions about when, where, how we perform - in theatres and galleries, on social media, and in our everyday lives.</p>

Artist Statement
<span>My style developed by working over the discarded paintings of children, combining the random marks of a child with the handwriting of an adult. Art processes from other cultures have also influenced my work, in particular Indian Patua and glass painting. My Irish grandmother passed down her gift for storytelling through art to create personal narratives. Most important to me are my two children who are a constant source of inspiration.</span>
