She was brought up by guardians until the age of seven, when her father took over her care. She began creating her strange fabric dolls at a very early age.

She initially wanted to "speak" through the medium of words, but, finding it unbearable to see sentences written in her own hand, she invented sentences from prayers "“ always the same, repeated hundreds of times.

They feature imitations of the written word or superimposed layers...

[Small Labeled Circles], 1984

Item — Folder 4: [Barcode: 31858072459427]

Identifier: CC-36480-38277

Scope and Contents

According to Boshoff, this is "A hand-drawn work of small circles, based upon those small bits of paper that fall out of a paper punch. The work was once enlarged and printed in an edition of ten silk-screen prints." Boshoff is referring to "chads" an arcane word that became famous in American politics during the vote recount in Floida for the 2000 American presidential campaign of Bush and Gore. On a number of circles, Boshoff handprinted two or three clusters of letters, e.g., EN, RUS, LOF, VIS, SO, AR, and so forth. The significance of these letters is not readily apparent. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
