The uncanny distance of Kirsten Lilford and Sarah Biggs
Kirsten Lilford & Sarah Biggs at Salon 91The exhibition ‘Distance’, at Salon 91, showcases the works of two promising Cape Town artists, Kirsten Lilford and Sarah Biggs – both former UCT Michaelis graduates. On the opening night I was asked to review the show. This seemed challenging as I perhaps experience a lack of distance from one of the artists involved. Kirsten Lilford and I have been friends since high school and my family photographs have often provided raw materials for her work. Images of my husband and father are presented in this particular show. Sarah Biggs, on the other hand, I have only been exposed to via her final year work at Michaelis. After meeting with her recently for coffee and a chat I found a closer understanding of her work and concerns.
