Senzeni Mthwakazi Marasela’s artistic practice uses a variety of mediums and materials to document and communicate the experiences of the artist’s alter ego, Theodorah Mthetyane. Also the artist’s mother’s name, Theodorah intentionally represents the collective lives and struggles of many South African black women and their legacies alike. A recurring focus in Marsela’s work considers the action of waiting and the multiplicity bound up in this experience. Waiting is a tedious state of in-betweenness, marked by a dependency on what’s to come, but it is also inextricably bound up in hopefulness. Transgressing from the static state of waiting, Marasela’s work moves into the action of searching, symbolizing agency, but also the failure of results to progress from the previous state of waiting.
