Bev Butkow
b.1967, South Africa

BIOGRAPHY


Bev Butkow uses processes of making like weaving and painting to knot and entangle, creating networks of connections that maintain a fragile equilibrium between holding together and unravelling. These entanglements give texture to the experiences that lie sedimented in her artist body, like tension experienced from taking on conflicting roles of career and mothering.
