Awesome Winter Swim

When artist Wilma Britz found herself with a pair of scissors and a collection of images in her hometown of Overberg, something just felt right. As a talented creator of collages, Wilma’s work mashes nostalgic book images and recycles them into incredible works of art that we just love. One of our favourite creations is ‘Little Tribute to Die Antwoord’. Why Die Antwoord? Wilma explains, ‘Just like everyone else, I sat in awe when I saw Enter the Ninja for the very first time. Yo!landi is so aesthetically pleasing. There was no way to resist. Ninja too.’ On a more personal level, Wilma says that at that time, she was struggling as an artist and related to Die Antwoord’s message of never giving up, rejoicing in their unlikely success. So, after getting her hands on a Rolling Stone magazine that featured Die Antwoord, she started collaging the South African zef rappers into her work as a tribute to her new found hope.

When it comes to finding inspiration, Wilma says that simply being a woman brings a lot of ideas, ‘Inspiration coming from experiencing this life in the feminine form on earth and relating to a dreamlike state of wonder of the galactic mystery that surrounds us’. Look out for Wilma’s future projects, which include turning some of her collages into stained glass mosaics. See more of Wilma’s work here.
