Karin TerBlanche’s work draws on concepts found in Scripture – whether directly expressed, implied, or metaphorical. She explores the relationship between the physical and the spiritual, using form and material to consider where these dimensions meet. Recurring motifs such as bridges, arches, and mirrored imagery appear throughout her practice as symbols of connection, transition, and reflection.

Her earlier work centred on oil painting and textile printing, with each medium informing the other. Her current focus is ceramic sculpture, where storytelling moves into the foreground. Working primarily in clay, she engages its tactile and spatial possibilities, focusing mainly on figurative work. This year, an exciting new dialogue inspired by the Karoo environment has emerged between textiles and clay – a conversation she has opened the door to and is actively exploring.
