The vibrant medium of Wireart was born in the rural areas of South Africa. Young herdboys, due to a lack of money to buy proper toys, fashioned their own out of discarded coathanger wire, tin cans and whatever else they could get their hands on. Before long, older inhabitants recognised the uniqueness and marketability of these wire toys and began making their own wire creations, selling them to tourists and visitors to the region. Today, this genre is a thriving and legitimate art-form in its own right.
