About "North-South Heartbeat: Pressure Point"
One of a set of three works.I am a ninth generation South African whose ancestors came to South Africa from Europe in 1688.This work expresses the dual hart-beats of Africa and Europe according to my experiences; the feeling of living on a cultural boundary,appreciating and being nurtured by both worlds. Images from both these world are combined with an Electro-cardiogram of the beating human hart. The rhythm of these hart-beats are picked up and achoed in the other images.

About Titia
I use history and the varied cultural heritage of South Africa
as sources for images depicting life on a cultural boundary. My work is essentially a search for identity in a fast evolving country: questions about my past( descendant of French Huguenots) are coupled with questions about the future in a country where the Westernization of its original peoples and the
Africanization of European immigrants and colonists have been taking place for the past 300 - 400 years.
