About The Artwork
My aim with this work was to exercise unbounded creativity, suspending ideas of right and wrong, responding to chance marks, forms and colours. What emerged was this free, independent, fierce but fragile-looking female riding on a big creature with its mouth agape. She reminds me of the Hindu goddess, Durga, symbol of divine feminine and creative energy. Durga is a warrior against evil. She rides on a tiger - a symbol of unlimited power, which she controls and uses to protect that which is good. The work is rendered in pastel, pencil, spray paint and acrylic paint. It is block- mounted.

South Africa
I was born in 1962 in South Africa and live in Cape Town. I earned my Bachelor of Visual Arts at UNISA (the University of SouthAfrica). I have participated in several shows in Cape Town. My fascination with depth psychology and the workings of the subconscious mind finds expression in the surreal elements in my work. My focus is on the figurative as representation of inner awareness. I always listen to music while working, as it helps me to transcend the urge to controll the outcome. My mark-making is spontaneous and expressive and I allow chance to play a role in the direction I go. My creative process involves finding images (from different sources) that resonate with me on a mostly subconscious level and then creating a new image through juxtaposition. This I then transfer to canvas/paper and translate into a painting or drawing. .
