A Patch to Process the River’s Bounds focuses on the region's flora and the complexity of the Eerste River as a witness to the lives of indigenous peoples as well as the arrival of settlers and subsequent foreign horticulture and agriculture.

The work interweaves dead, dried invasive saplings from Coetzenburg with living indigenous plants collected along the river, consulting with landscape architect Katy Rennie and linking Stellenbosch University’s Botanical Garden, Centre for Invasion Biology, and Environmental Services.

This artwork adapts, grows, composts, and re-germinates seasonally, responding directly to its environment. Over time, the woven invasive mat may become “lost” within a simple patch of indigenous green and yellow, reflecting the iterative and transformative nature of the landscape.
