Reconsidering the transience of female beauty, Cara van der Westhuizen has created a collection of what may best be described as curiosity cabinets for her first solo exhibition, Venus Revisited. Van der Westhuizen’s hand-made cabinets house overlays of glass panels upon which she has lithographed medieval and renaissance representations of Venus and Eve along with an array of clinical charts, diagrams, and symbols that speak of impermanence.
