Liminality – An Exhibition of Paintings by Richard Joshua. 

The understanding of liminality has multiple contexts, ranging from social and cultural to spatial. The root word limen “is derived from the Latin word for ‘threshold,’ and literally means ‘being on a threshold”. It is the in-between stage where “the realm of conscious and unconscious speculation and questioning exists. Where tradition and ideas are intermingled, taken apart, and reassembled – where memory, values, and intentions collide.

This sense of liminality is represented by historical houses located in a small town called McGregor, in the Western Cape. McGregor is a place steeped in history – history in its own right, as well as part of the history of our country.
