Githan Coopoo is a self-taught jewellery designer and sculptor from Cape Town who works exclusively with clay as a base medium. The sculptural forms use text to communicate simple but pointed messages that span from sarcastic to intimate in timbre. Using humour to disable elitism and intellectual inaccessibility, Coopoo’s work is not afraid to wield popular notions of cultural exclusivity in the name of satire. This is a collection of drawings that Githan has done of his sculptures.
