Sello is interested in exploring the changes which arise from living in South Africa; the shift between traditions, rituals and the present; the way one alters the other and becomes something else. His artistic practice embraces taking performance out of traditional theatre spaces and placing it in alternate spaces, in the centre of the public eye. He uses every day, mundane objects as inspiration, as well as natural and ritualistic movement to create living installations which meld and blend into the surroundings in which they are performed. Objects are narrative, symbolic and mutable, their changing symbolism reflects the changes of circumstance and society. He constantly seeks ways to push the boundaries of performance and the perception of performance, with an aim to close the gap between the performers and the audience.
