Lyndi Sales is an artist based in Cape Town, South Africa. She has been creating a series of installations and artworks for the past sixteen years. Her constructions made of intricately cut perspex, paper, rubber, fabric and stone often shed light on the fragile nature of our existence and temporality.
Rainbows can be a symbol of disillusionment- an elusive goal that is always shifting, like the notion of the pot of gold that doesn't really exist. Gold is symbolic of Utopia and the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow that is often an illusion.
The knobkerrie is a traditional South African symbol of a weapon, of status, and is a highly treasured personal object. In times of peace, it can be used for a walking stick, a symbols of defense and honor, as well as carried and used by protestors. By shrouding weapons with rainbow colour I attempt to beautify this very powerful and loaded object which is symbolic of South African struggle, protest and the striking lower class and justice.
