Migrant Migrate
When internationally acclaimed furniture designer Gregor Jenkin was tasked with creating an installation for the 2010 Johannesburg Art Fair he asked El Niño to help him realise his vision of a herd of wildebeest. Part public sculpture, part functional tables the duo hope to have a herd commissioned for a public space before the end of 2010.

Fake Letterpress
With the popularity of letterpress printing in South Africa on the rise, I can't help but remember the few weeks spent at Firefly Press in Somerville, Massachusetts under the apprenticeship of John Kristensen. I've rummaged through my old negatives to find these images. More to follow soon.
In the meantime you can watch a great documentary on it here. (its quite short)
