_{Zhané Warren’s work is tight and tense, with the macabre ability to create, in the viewer, a sense of unease. The work is achingly beautiful, and Warren uses body parts – her hands, her face, lips – to invoke an incredible sensitivity. The unsettlement – that feeling of horror – emerges when her body extremities are used to explore actions and repercussions of trauma, violence and mourning.}

_{Warren has mastered the language of blurring the intensely personal with the almost abstracted political. In this way she projects experiences beyond her control onto her body.}

_{Warren lives in Antwerp, Belgium, a fact that informs her work on foreignness, difference and inequality, and one that leads her to investigate the loneliness of finding oneself in another culture, in another land, removed from all you know and all you feel comfortable knowing.}

_{The basis of live with me, Warren’s exhibition occupying the entire KZNSA Gallery, is her engagement with performance. In addition, the artist makes use of the sculptural and visual qualities of the voice. These works are accompanied by the digital printmaking, lithography and polymer photogravure that has gained this South African artist international stature.}
