"In a country where artistic innovation and challenging creative sensibilities seem to far outweigh the buying capacityof the market, getting a substantial artists monograph published is a small miracle in itself. As such, this book is longoverdue. Perhaps of all artists working in South Africa post-1970, Penny Siopis has exerted the most influence overaspiring students and scholars. Her stunningly prolific output, intellectual agility and natural interdisciplinarysensibility has captured the imaginations not only of fellow artists, curators and art lovers, but also of anthropologists,sociologists, historians and philosophers. It is difficult to resist being drawn into her capacity to reflect the alwayschanging zeitgeist, on both locally-specific and globally-relevant levels."
