ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This image reflects my interest in our preoccupation with utopia, an imagined place where everything is better than where we are. We often give this imagined place a form, as if it were a physical place we could inhabit, where in fact, I believe it is a place inside ourselves. My use of sepia coloured watercolour suggests old photographs, as if a place of my imagination could be fixed in a photographic image as if offering proof that it is real. I hope that, like me, the viewer will think of real places we usually only see in photographs and which remain slightly unbelievable, as if they are places we dreamed about.

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).
