Karoo Elements

KAROO ELEMENTS takes physical pieces of slate (shale), pods, quartz, tin, bark and other fascinating things I pick up on my hikes in Barrydale, Klein Karoo in South Africa, and merges it into an authentically telluric landscape. I want to bring a tangible feel for the Karoo to your wall. I want you to smell the hot air, experience the nutty aroma of the Acacia trees, touch the slate and quartz crystal that's been around for thousands of years. Come take a walk with me every time you glance at this piece. Finally, a series that incorporates the essence and elements of the land into the artwork. Feel the energy of the Karoo and my passion and love for this special part of South Africa.
