About

Hennie Boshoff has worked with Rossetta Woolf for over 25 years on various art projects, including the Aleph tarot pack [ Aleph Tarot / Le Fou ]. They collaborated on half a dozen or so residences and studios - as - art - galleries in London, during the 1980s. In rural France, they created three similar projects, including the Chateau of Pauligne, with fine-art interiors, created by a wide range of international artists and artisans + an experimental multimedia arts centre. The garden exhibited 22 sculptures from the Tarot. The chateau is the former headquarters of the Azazel Institute - a not for profit American arts foundation created for Boshoff to pursue his creative vision. It became very well known in the region, attracting visitors from all over the world.

Boshoff returned to South Africa in 1998 in a project he called Toorkuns. It was during this new project that he created Blou Piet in Umhlanga, KZN. It was to be his first art house on South African soil.
