Come Hell or High Water by Hannalie Taute unfolds around an exploration of the ocean as a metaphor for identity. Taute masterfully intertwines the notion of identity construction with other conceptual threads, often resulting in shrewd commentary on society and popular culture. For her 11th solo exhibition, Taute takes her cue from the well-known idiom – “Come Hell or High Water”. The title refers to the challenges an artist faces to put an exhibition together, often working with tight deadlines and the accompanying stress to produce enough work for an exhibition space.
