Hannelie (b. South Africa 1971) is a visual artist based in Johannesburg. Her relational practice regularly centres on public spaces . Originating out of her respect and concern for the environment, Hannelie employs found materials, most often reclaimed industrial waste, to form unlikely partnerships with the surrounding land. Research into these materials and the context of their deployment on - site remains a fundamental component of Hannelie ’s process, allowing her to orient her work around its immediate community and locate meaning inherent to the materials used. Across disciplines, Coetzee’s practice seeks to marry environmental science and social action to better engage with nature.
