Daily Bread is a performance of necessity, bound to a personal history of labor, ritual, and survival.

Growing up as a person of colour under the apartheid regime in South Africa, where education for non-white citizens was systemically suppressed, attending a Catholic school was an intentional act of subversion to seek out the highest standard of knowledge. Within those walls, the daily repetition of the Lord’s Prayer, ”Give us this day our daily bread” became an motorised rhythm.

Decades later, practicing as a sculptor in Europe, that structural phrase has evolved from a schoolroom recitation into a literal condition of existence. By releasing one piece a day to fund the physical act of eating, this project strips away the boundary between fine art and basic sustenance.

The resulting sculptures exist as physical tokens of hard work. Displayed at home or placed within a corporate office, each unique slice serves as a permanent visual reminder of the true purpose behind human effort. It turns the studio practice into a direct echo of that early daily prayer: an unceasing cycle of daily effort, daily earning, and an absolute reverence for the ordinary things that keep us alive.
