ABOUT THE ARTWORK
DETAILS AND DIMENSIONS
SHIPPING AND RETURNS
I see my work as being SUPRAreal or PSYCHEreal as opposed to SURreal. This is the proverbial melting pot. Here are archetype images (which have appeared in my paintings at various periods) thrown into the upheaval and damage being wrought within this country during apartheid....giving a perspective...

Multimedia performance artist, painter, author, poet, dancer, costume/fashion designer, ex educator (Life Science), upholsterer, dissenter. As a child I was quite 'gender fluid'. My mother died when I was 8 and my father (who worked on the cargo boats between Durban and Cape Town) was mostly absent....and violent. Given the traumas of childhood it is more the miracle that I never became a drug addict or died young. My great aunt taught me to knit when I was /8/9 years old, and I liked playing with dolls. My gran 'mothered' us for five years after our mother died. At 13 our father reappeared and took us to live with him in a house on the sea shore. But we were shipped off to boarding school. Living at the house was a nightmare and I hated hated hated the 'holidays'.
My painting work has its own category. My paintings represent a journey, with various recurring themes (notably the 'african snake' *rainbow serpent*) and 'maps' of 'stations' of 'awareness' as I discovered symbolism to represent a counter current to resist the apartheid regime. From Camus "the Stranger" which had a strong affect on me: 'The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.'
We have, in essence, entered the age of INVERSION 2025 and I think it is the plight of every thinking person (not only artists) to resist this capitulation.
