About The Artwork

Astrophytum asterias super kabuto forms part of a portfolio, VETPLANT (fat plant) – a series of succulent photographs taken in my studio. My approach is formal – not unlike that of a portrait photographer – by using controlled lighting and a flat, neutral background, I try to capture and dramatize the character of the plant. I am inspired by the sheer beauty of the plants and am more interested in capturing their sensual and sculptural shapes than their blooms. Succulents are symbols of optimism – they embody nature’s evolvement in overcoming adversity. They are tough and resilient, able to adapt to survive the harshest possible conditions – they not only persist in the face of hardship, they flourish. Therein lies a lesson from the aloes.

For the past 40 years I’ve been working as a photographer in Cape Town, South Africa, specialising in portrait photography. In 2004 I was commissioned by the Demond Tutu Peace Trust to photograph celebrities around the world for an exhibition HANDS THAT SHAPE HUMANITY. The exhibition included portraits of musicians Carlos Santana and Cesária Évora; authors Chinua Achebe, Paul Theroux, Tom Robbins and Isabel Allende; political dissident Wei Jingsheng; spiritual leaders Archbishop Demond Tutu and Rabbi Aidan Steisaltz; artists Marc Quinn and Douglas Coupland; actors Gillian Anderson and Natascha McElhone and politicians President Shimon Peres and President FW de Klerk.
