\u201cDit is moelik om jouself in te dink dat iets soos hierdie toekenning bestaan. Dit is wonderlik, en ek is innig dankbaar. \u2018n Toekenning soos hierdie kan \u2018n deur-
slaggewende impak op \u2018n kunstenaar se lewe en werk h\u00ea. Ek hoop om dit ten beste toe te pas\u201d, het Botha ges\u00ea nadat hy op 26 November 2013 die Helgaard Steyn-prys in Bloemfontein ontvang het.<\/p>\n

Botha, wat tans in Kommetjie woon, het in 1996 die graad B.A. (Visuele Kunste) aan die Universiteit van Pretoria verwerf en stal sedert 1995 gereeld plaaslik en internasionaal uit.<\/p>\n

Botha het die beeldegroep Blastwave<\/i>, bestaande uit vier groot bome, in opdrag vir Nedbank se hoofkantoor (Fase 2 Foyer) in Sandton, Johannesburg voltooi. Die staalkonstruksies, met swart lakverniste merantihout beslaan, beeld die sikliese aard van ontwikkeling en verandering uit, onder meer met verwysing na Pierneef se akasiabome en die voormalige Britse premier Harold Macmillan se toespraak oor die \u201cwinde van verandering\u201d in 1960.<\/p>\n

Verskeie konseptuele oorwegings is in sy werk vasgel\u00ea, waarvan sommige met Suid-Afrika as \u2019n plek en \u2019n land verband hou, en ander met sy geskiedenis en erfenis. Die beoordelaarspaneel het Botha juis geprys vir sy konseptuele insig, veral van belang vir post-kolonialisme in Suid-Afrika, en sy uitmuntende tegniese vernuf.<\/p>\n

Ander oorwegings handel oor die gebou self en die vloei wat die ontwerp daarvan teweegbring, benewens \u2019n sydelingse toespeling op een van die opdragwerke in fase 1 [die werk van Willem Boshoff, wat na windname in verhouding tot finansi\u00eble en markkragte verwys]. Sodoende is die gedagte van wind reeds in die hele gebou vasgevang.<\/p>\n

Botha is bekend om sy bevraagtekening van simboliek verwant aan religie, magstrukture en geskiedenis, asook sy gebruik van diverse materiaal soos mieliemeel, boeke en houtskool.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
