Black and white Drypoint Etching. Paper size is 60cm by 80 cm, plate size is 40cm by 60 cm. This pre-WW1 water tower situated on a high spot in Johannesburg is a rare architectural and engineering legacy. Assembled from precast steel pieces dates from 1913 and was designed by a German engineering firm. The elegant high-rising steel framework, supports a walkway. The spherical tank is capped by an almost Gothic-looking steeple adornment reaching skywards. The starkness and towering height of this structure lends itself to the drypoint technique of hard line incising into a piece of metal and the monochromatic colouring

I work mainly in the media of printmaking and sculpture. When making prints my preference is for hard ground etchings, drypoint or relief prints. Sculpturally I work with bronze, glass and various metals, often combining them in a single artwork. I was formerly a Mathematics lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand for thirty years. Drawing on my expertise in mathematics, I helped to create a popular interest and involvement in mathematics by elucidating the nexus between mathematics and traditional African craft objects, and has been involved in the production of numerous articles, books, TV documentaries, videos and DVDs relating to that topic. I was the mathematician involved in the development of the series Africa meets Africa (www.africameetsafrica.co.za).
