About The Artwork
Acrylic, ink and pigments on African wax print fabrics on marine quality ply-board. The work is in two panels each in an aluminium frame to facilitate hanging and keep the boards from warping in different weather conditions. In painting I am drawn to ritual, drawn to conscious intent, drawn to layering: I start with African wax print on board - bright patterned colour - and then work with pigments sourced in South Africa from the earth. I seldom ‘paint’. I PUT the mark down….. in sharp focus. I want my work to be approached from a distance, in which the whole is seen to be exquisite, and then the closer one gets, the more crass and messy or brutal and neglectful the detail is seen to be. All landscape has such history. Each plot of ‘vacant land’, a history, a present and a future potential. My work is undoubtedly African.
