Odette Graskie is a Johannesburg-based who works with paper and drawing.

This process seeks to be about human interaction and connection and, for Graskie, drawing is a way of seeing – she is interested in highlighting the intimate moments she so often notices.

In the artist’s words: “The words that I read are excerpts from The House Without Windows by Barbara Newhall Follett. The book is about a girl who runs away to live in the wild, the life of the authors had eerie parallels as she wrote this when she was 12 and at 25 she disappeared (sadly probably a victim of domestic violence). But the book is pure magic.”
