I originally went to the ELC Art and Craft Centre [at Rorke’s Drift] in 2013 to find the linocut press that John Muafangejo had printed on. I found the press, but it was in such disrepair that it was all but unusable… On that visit, I stumbled on the weaving workshop, and the press was immediately forgotten, never to be thought of again. I wanted to collaborate with the Centre in whatever capacity – to tap into its story as a found history. 
– Cameron Platter in conversation with Lucienne Bestall, July 2026

My Work Here Is Done traces both this history and Platter’s collaboration with the Rorke’s Drift weavers in a photo zine and twinned texts, accompanied by stickers and a patch excerpted from the resulting tapestries.
