About The Artwork

This image reflects my concern with animals and the environment, more specifically how we keep ourselves emotionally distant and fail to recognise that we are a part of the natural environment we inhabit. We often fail in our duty of care, preferring to see nature as a fantasy we sometimes visit. This is one of a number of watercolour sketches enclosed by a circular gold frame. The circular format has featured often in my work for several years. It suggests to me a fleeting moment, something dreamlike and impermanent. I hope the viewer will have a double response to these images…first that they will enjoy the decorative nature of the images, and second, that they will recognise a more serious layer underlying its beauty. The upside down or floating animal image that often occurs in my work suggests our inconsistent emotional relationship to animals.

I am a South African born artist living in Cape Town, South Africa. I lectured in Sculpture in Johannesburg before relocating to London in 2007. I returned to South Africa in 2020. My work usually reflects my strong interest in Animal Studies, which is the study, across multiple disciplines, of the relationship between humans and other animals. My images often suggest some kind of internal, or emotional, chaos - individual or collective - which is then expressed or echoed in external crises; in environmental destruction, for example. I have work 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.
