Sanell Aggenbach (born 1975) is a South African artist living and working in Woodstock, Cape Town.[1] Using painting, printmaking, and sculpture, her work addresses the relationship between history and private narratives, with a sense of ambiguity.[2] Her work also explores the processes of nostalgia and historical myth-making,[3] often incorporating the playful, disarming, and absurd to draw the viewer into discussions of darker subjects. She has a unique style of combining traditional painting techniques with sculptural elements, as well as typically feminine crafts such as sewing and tapestry.
