ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Much of my work is concerned with what we cover up... painful information, for instance, and the difficult feelings around those subjects. It is something we need to do to survive, but it can hurt us by delaying the inevitable and preventing us from taking necessary actions. I hope viewers will recognise the object as something familiar and apparently innocent, but be reminded of how the ordinary can sometimes mask something painful. The material - wool dust - reminds us of the transience and fragility of all things. The style is minimalist to suggest the laying bare of complicated realities.

South Africa
I am a South African artist based in Cape Town, South Africa. I lectured in Sculpture in Johannesburg before moving to London in 2007. I returned to South Africa in 2020. My work reflects my concern with our emotional dependence on the natural environment, and our conflicted and inconsistent relationship with other animals. I am preoccupied with the idea, reflected in my artistic practice, that we suffer some kind of emotional disruption when we are inattentive and don’t recognise our duty of stewardship to the natural world of which we are a part. The result is internal, or emotional, chaos - individual or collective - in the human world which is expressed in external crises; in environmental destruction, for example. My work is included in numerous private and public collections, including the Johannesburg Art Gallery, The Durban Art Gallery, The UNISA (University of SA) Art Gallery, The SA Reserve Bank, Standard Bank Collection, WAM (Art Museum of the University of the Witwatersrand).
