Description 

A collage det made from reclaimed paint gathered during the making of the Terra series. Fragments that once sat on the palette, now reformed into something new. There’s a quiet sense of movement here, like approaching land or tracing a shifting shoreline. Not fixed, just settling. The two works sit in conversation, holding a space between them.

Artist Statement & Bio

The Terra collection explores memory, structure, and place through layered, intuitive processes. Working across painting and assemblage, these works are constructed surfaces where fragments are cut, repositioned, and reassembled—reflecting the way place is experienced and remembered.
Through the use of reverse glass, board, and collage, the work develops a quiet physical depth. Layered forms suggest shifting landscapes and interior structures, where memory is held, altered, and continuously unfolding.

Santie Cronje is a South African–born artist based in the South Waikato, Aotearoa New Zealand. Her practice explores memory, structure, and place through painting and assemblage, using layered, intuitive processes shaped by migration and lived experience. Her work navigates the space between abstraction and representation, drawing on landscapes, structures, and fragments of place.
