stoop

Stoop's artwork often exudes a quirky essence. It emerges from contemplation on the present moment, questioning the validity of an anthropocentric worldview.

Through metaphorical utilization of objects and subjects, her pieces frequently convey social commentary.

Residing in Pringle Bay, a picturesque town in the Western Cape, Stoop draws inspiration from the local environment, which is home to a troop of Chacma baboons.

These fascinating creatures, with their comedic charm, greatly influence her artistic endeavors, as she emphasizes the urgent need to reassess our relationship with the environment and to examine our interconnectedness with the natural world.
