ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This image reflects my concern with things that are hidden from view in a way that is harmful, allowing bad things to continue in secret. Evident in this image, particularly, is my interest in animals and their disappearance from our world as a result of our lack of care. I regard it as a playful image because the dog seems to be participating, as in a game, in acting out its own disappearance, just as a young child might pretend to have disappeared by covering only its face. The almost illustrative style reflects my interest in the work of Charles Avery. The watercolour medium is a favourite for certain kinds of images. I like it especially for it’s gentleness which usefully contrasts with the slightly disturbing quality of images like this one. Perhaps viewers will be compelled by contrast between the traditional quality of the medium and the style and the slightly unnerving image itself.

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 conflicted and inconsistent 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).
