Stephané E. Conradie’s work repurposes objects such as brass, wooden figurines, ceramic trinkets, and porcelain display and utility objects. These objects, all reminiscent of the trinkets that decorate working and middle-class homes across South Africa, are used to form the sculptures, prints, and paintings in Conradie’s work. These works reflect on belonging in a society that is undergoing rapid and often unstable change in the context of the home. By sourcing materials from diverse households, Conradie locates the aesthetic threads that tie the often invisible domestic lives of South Africans, who used to be forced to live separately, together. These works, therefore, become  simultaneously nostalgic and optimistic reflections of a material history that is being re-negotiated. Conradie has exhibited across South Africa.
