ENGLISH ABSTRACT: It has been the harbinger of global chilling - the prelude to the winter of despair. The malevolent plague of Covid-19 has caught the populace off guard, spreading widespread bedlam and fear, thereby exposing the very underbelly of human vulnerability. The rapid spread of this life-threatening virus has been debilitating the harmony of daily routine and sending habitual practice into disarray. This study pursues the notion of a dialect without utterance, and the scrutiny to see whether marks and signs of dis-ease can be detected in both the two-and three-dimensional art form I am making. It is a probe to recognise signs of vulnerability, those which are registered by way of an arcane trace, a sequential thread embedded in the gestures and marks of abject frailty. Covid-19 and all the complications of a plague have provided the backdrop for my research. The practice-based study for this master’s degree is essentially motivated by way of visual expression and the written theory attached has provided the verbal substructure, the motivation, and the explanation that underpins this thesis. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: n Wêreldwye afkoelperiode het ‘n winter van wanhoop voorafgegaan toe die mensdom onkant gevang is deur ‘n vernietigende plaag bekend as Covid-19. Dié pandemie het vrees dwarsdeur die mensdom versprei en barre kwesbaarheid blootgelê. Die pas waarteen die virus versprei, verwond die harmonie van daaglikse roetine en gewoonte. Dit is ook in hierdie verwarring en verbrokkeling van die menslike habitus waarin my kuns haar stem vind. Die studie stel voor dat, ironies genoeg, hierdie stem ook gevorm is in stomheid en ontasbaarheid en as kunsprakties-gebaseerde studie betrag dit die moontlike ontstaan in kunsmaak van ‘n gewestelike maar sprakelose taal, ‘n vorm-gebaseerde dialek. Dit ondersoek die moontlikheid dat merke en tekens van ongemak en trauma in beide twee- en drie-dimensionele beelde bespeurbaar is. Die kunswerke en die skripsie volg die spore van ‘n versluierde maar aaneenlopende ontvloeiing van bedekte betekenis wat ingebed is in die gebare en merke van volslae broosheid. Covid-19 en al die ingewikkeldhede van ‘n plaag verskaf gronde vir die studie wat uitdrukking vind in kunsmaak. Bykomend tot kunsmaak is dit hoofsaaklik die teorieë van John Berger wat verbale struktuur, motivering en die begrypinge wat die tesis toelig, verskaf.
