About The Artwork
The images in this series grew out of the (impossible) fantasy of being untethered to place or time. Impossible because we are always subject to and affected by the narrative of our lives; our attachment to the places in which our stories are played out and the events we witness and become part of. I hope the images inspire the fantasy of lightness and freedom from the pain of attachments and separations, but also that they remind us of the impossibility of that fantasy. The material - wool dust - reminds us of the transience of everything; including our lives and the histories we are part of. My images are often influenced by historical Japanese images in which historical scenes feel very much like fantasy, and where even the harshest and most painful subject is made beautiful.

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 complex 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).
