The Modern Day Alchemist: Chemicals, Creativity & The Concept Of Time With Mariette Kotze

November 03, 2020 • Mariette Kotze • Season 2 • Episode 14

This week our digital studio is graced by the virtual presence of Cape Town-based artist, Mariette Kotze. We have long been enraptured by Mariette's unique art form: a process whereby she creates entirely singular images through one-off combinations of ink, water and solvents on the surface of a dual-lens scanner.

In this concise but enlightening conversation, Mariette and Rachel discuss the former's creative origins, the nitty-gritty of her extraordinary creative workflow and how she crafts her expansive, heavenly Instagram feed.

You can learn more about Mariette's absolutely fascinating medium on her website. Her Instagram is also totally worth a follow, FYI.

In this episode, we referred back to a recording from Season One of Orms Air where we spoke with charismatic scanographer Mishal Weston. Dive into that full conversation over here.
