Meeting My Maker Painting

Starting in August 2013, I began a series of paintings and drawings that might best be described as “battlefield documents”. In addition to re-imagining conflicts from the Nine Eastern Cape Xhosa Wars (1779 -1879) on the ground in the visible world, the pictures attempt to visualise the ongoing war of principles taking place in the invisible world. Borders, orders, concord, discord, obedience, rebellion, order, chaos: in short, all the false refuges that societies cling to. Holding the viewer's attention for long enough to interest them is a challenge I embrace with a hybrid mixture of elation and fear tugging and gnashing at the surface of the paper, wood panels and canvasses. The pictures aspire to a visual etymology of brutality experienced in the Eastern Cape during a century of systematic industrialised hostility and the effects of that history on present-day
