Venus at Home - Usha Seejarim (exhibition)

It's not every day that a housewife looks around her kitchen and sees her utensils as objects of art. But Usha Seejarim is no ordinary housewife. The artist from Bethal, a small town in Mpumalanga, says that "as a home-maker/housewife/mother of two, and an artist", she is fascinated by her everyday chores. When she is in the kitchen, her spoons, forks, knives and plates become art objects. In her latest exhibition, Seejarim takes a closer look at the places and the objects in her immediate surrounds, and the roles she assumes when she is around these objects.
