7:33 pm
is now in setting the graphite. this is done by putting blue and then setting the graphite. and once that is done, it goes to the fed stage, which is now the process from this passing event right for about 3 days, right in the sun, then would now polish defensive. give it a small finish after that depends on the shipping and what the ship end to the end was for quality control to make sure that it's doable. it's made all the data requirements that in terms of low quality to standards, then it goes into parking. and is ready to go for the market as a factory or capacity right now. we're able to do up to 40000 pencils a day. we can do a minimum of $70000.00, let me know $1017.00 a month. this is subject to the or the demand that comes in. so we looked at the impact of and read them into that right now. climate change is a very big topic everywhere. so we can use that and seen as an advocate of
7:34 pm
environmental awareness to use the children to input the children and transform the mindset. so they can, i book it for a better environment for the children. and the children's children pencils, kim, as an opportunity to say, look, now it's possible to model frontier principles from recycling this purpose. this is an idea that we'd like to try. we had to do research and we said yes, it's a very viable and it's unique. so lucas jump on to it, it'll be there for us to those to do this and be able to use that as a tool to not only supported nutrition, but at the same time to be able to support the environment because they're not coming to invite them in to 90 with, according to the word bunk, estimate to $2400.00 tons of solid waste is generated in a ruby every be a month. this includes news because we are discarded of to use. how does one, okay, how big vitamin attempts entitlement in 2 ways, one,
7:35 pm
it 2 moves with from the environment in terms of newspapers, business purpose and that from the landfill and daily just to add up to the pollution. secondly, they put this coming up with an option for the intensive. what we had advocating is that we should stop cutting trees to make friends, since there is another option that is more equal friendly, that can be able to reduce the number of cheese that i've got to make themselves the process of dining, discard it, and use the post into pencil seems like a very liberal. how is that my mood has been doing the since 2017 and now has the down to a fine art they help for the to continue to see us at also was to schools and plants, cheese. by dream that reassuring them that you have a very important role to play in advocating for vitamin to see children learn by
7:36 pm
experience. so they plant that tree that will remember their whole life in sub saharan africa. more than one in 3 adults cannot treat a 182000000 adults unable to read and write. when 48000000 youth between the ages of 15 to 24 are electric access procession. that a for me, when i was this point, we were this at the system where a lot of this teams are provided by the government to free. and so as long as you are in the government school or you what i can to the excise books, pencils and everything that you needed was already covered the when we're in the hopefully to see come paid last year. we impacted that 145000 school children. this 145000. each one was able to get our pensive and we managed to get to schools and
7:37 pm
planted trees for planted about 7500 trees and left you alone. with these recycling conceals, that's my mood tons out keys, not only giving children the tools needed to a fill in life, but also making them aware of the environment by using these waste people to create these through an expensive no innovation that made sustainability for the future. i think is of outside that house and the gay yeah, is a modern environment to be friendly. home utilizes low maintenance ad locally source materials and places emphasis on the coast of inability. i just sent it around to providence indigenous tree that stands in the garden courtyard. i'm joined by gregory cuts to tell us small. gregory were standing on the rooftop of house in a game. yeah. tell me
7:38 pm
a bit more about the push towards sustainability in your industry. if you're not thinking about sustainability, if you're designing time, especially homes, like those from scratch, then you're not doing your job proxies. you know it's such a big issue. can you tell us about the breeze that you receive from the client? some of those things that came up in those initial conversations were like and formal way of living requirement for the 1st time. and in particular, was that the one to the house? i'm a single level state into tiny lots and so really we needed a lot of space for, for inter turning and we made very big m r from planned gestures on the ground floor for the kitchen and kind of integrated into the space into the, into the into time and space and the challenges when you, when you're making space, it's like this, the kind of floor is how do you keep them close their various strategies that we adopt to, to make them feel more intimate. but you know, it's a lot for care. we've got this amazing climates and um,
7:39 pm
and so it's the house is also very open. it's open to the landscape. this huge doors it's, it's basically a dropbox that slipped from the ground. and these 2 defining planes, the one is the gone plane and the other one is the ceiling claim. and then these various objects would treat insert into that into that box. you know what i am looking forward to seeing everything around the house. the does inches really is an award winning illustrative that has received blue cross cold blue are you award? she's a female illustrate to that aims to bring her culturally inspired all twigs into the male dominated graphic novel industry. liftgate inspired, imagined zulu called to up in the skies the significance of my license. the collaboration was quite a big deal because it's something i never imagined would ever be able to do as an industry to have in my work on the interior. how the plane is not something i had
7:40 pm
in the plans, but i'm very thankful for the opportunity. it help significance because i suppose i wanted to find a bigger platform to express south african culture and have people see it and takes you to call to, to this guys. the j. d. ziller is an illustrate thing. his work not only showcases his skill as an artist, but also brings the representation of african culture as to the fold. she's a custodian, those really called stuff saving condition and educating others through eye catching illustrations. i would consider that illustration isn't necessarily a medium, it's a specialty. and within that specialty you can use many mediums to illustrate. and i chose illustration because it has great communicative power in the sense that you can communicate to a large audience to visual appeal. and you can cross multiple languages and barriers between people just through the appeal and visual as a tell,
7:41 pm
think they found it difficult to relate to illustrations instantly. cultural books, even though they would visually interesting it to the to characters. she could relate to now being an illustration or herself, it's motivated her to correct that in balance in her work. i'm working on a comic book. the name of the comic book is nandita, the protect of there's a new kingdom. it's my passion project. it is literally my baby because it is actually inspired by my niece who was born recently. so it's named off to her. it's also story about a young girl who was trying to figure out what it's like to have dreams, where she needs with some of her ancestors and she learns different ways of life. she's quote between the suburbs and the township, and she's just navigating the world in between those 2 spaces. one of the characters is assigned to them and she is a guide for the main character and kind of gives her a little bit about life lessons that she can carry through out her own life. you
7:42 pm
know, i have relatives and my grandmother was also assigned to my so we kind of had that 1st hand experience of what a supplement is and what they do. and essentially a single mother, someone who kind of gives you a little bit more guidance, spiritual guidance on your life, and how to go about certain things with caution. and so i think kids work and leads to her own flu cold, so the also entices others to discover the traditions she aims to impact the educate should say to by integrating her illustrations with teaching literacy in south africa. this is because i grew up in the suburbs and i went to model c schools. so i didn't necessarily have that much of an understanding of my ancestors and the traditions of my culture. although whenever family did come together and have these traditions, i was always curious about once payment, what the, what, and i think it is important to bring it into our everyday lives and peace of mind
7:43 pm
everyday life because it hold significance. and, you know, it provides energy to keep me going from pages to balls who may seduce, carried strongly through her images and the color. she uses this all to it gives a don't on the walls of jewels to tea in the st. the of the head is vague. so my mural reps around the entire building. and the challenge that i had was to tell the story with the mural. the story behind the mural is basically about a young girl who's traveling through town and she gets on a text me to the spiritual plane. and then the story, she picks up to the items, little pieces of a tie up from the culture that she with. and through that journey, she kind of understand the connection back to her own culture. i would like for people to look at the work, see a sense of brightness, be reminded of some child like quality and the way that they may be create. but the
7:44 pm
reason why i use bright to tons of color throughout all my pilots is to try to foster a sense of joy and happiness. just a few steps from the mural is a place we some of our ideas came a live david crude projects. think case, collaboration with the studio allows you to dip her feet in the 1st print from a king. this was a collaboration between myself and the director of the workshop, which is i'm a bo and the most to print, to cover the series, which is proxy catch break. each of the characters find themselves and these all could predicaments within the city. and i kind of touch on stereotypes and the illustrations themselves and stereotypes like the ways that foreigners are kind of portrayed in the city and how, how it feels like as a person to one to escape south africa because of the things that are happening in our country and i also touch on the comedic side of things because these creatures
7:45 pm
awkward and i feel like a lot of the viewers can identify themselves in each of the creatures and identify with how strange it can be. it's to be in a city that's still developing, still recovering from all of its history and all of its cost and trying to be represented as something that's a little bit more diverse and more of the community. i think that it's important to break stereotypes because they form the fundamental of prejudice and they kind of eliminate the need to see people as individuals. and i think that that need is really important. and this is why i tried to challenge stereotypes in my own work. we are a young country, i am the age of the democracy of our country. and i still believe that we have so much to offer as fontose, as illustrators. and as individuals in general, being in control of how the country is represented in some way, shape or form, i think is important so that the rest of the world can see south africa in
7:46 pm
a new contemporary light. case work is a testament to the fact that by modernizing the messages of the cost, we can learn where we come from and still appreciate how it is relevant to our present. i know back to you. great. now this house was built around a large indigenous tree. how did you incorporate the tree into the design of the house? you know, when we 1st came to this piece of land and the trees standing gloriously in the middle of off the stand. i'm not sure of the age, but it's very established and had a real presence on the sides and the youth was kind of a precious resource for us to design around. we use the tree as a kind of mock understand to determine like how to position the house. so you can see that this is the living room waiting a day to have the bedroom waiting. and we placed this living room where as
7:47 pm
