She received the Kanna award for best visual art production at the 2014 KKNK (Klein Karoo Kunste National ) Arts Festival in Oudtshoorn for her solo exhibition called: “Rubber ever after”.
After Taute initially focused her attention on working with found objects, especially toys, she started working with rubber (particularly inner tubes) and in 2012 added embroidery to her list of preferred media. By using traditional embroidery techniques unto an unconventional canvas (rubber) she aims to make the familiar unfamiliar.
