Bella Knemeyer

(b 1991, South Africa. Lives and works in Cape Town)

Bella Knemeyer works across multiple disciplines as an artist; researcher and landscape architect. Bridging research and practice; her work pivots around the craft of everyday urbanism; artful placemaking and the politics of public space. Her paper landscapes take their cues from urban and natural contexts. Through mulching; plastering and raking various substrates; she's interested in the way subjects play out spatially; continually returning to questions of place - and how spaces are made; pulled apart; repaired and metabolised; over and again.
