Power Games

Productivity, power vested in corporates, corruption in the parastatals, our need for products weighed against what this is doing to the country and the planet… these are some of the issues which these post-apocalyptic images bring to mind.

Dispossession Games

Chess and Monopoly are games, but reflect a much bigger picture. On many levels, from whole nations, down to individuals, we are in a struggle to hold onto what we hold dear, while simultaneously dispossessing others (whether consciously or by default.)

This chessboard installation is made up of individual pieces, each telling a story … maybe someone’s home, land, wealth, poverty. Perhaps an oppressive leader, a homeless bushman, someone whose shack is their castle, or whose castle is their prison. The works form a big picture, ‘a cacophony of voices trying to be heard’. But, as with each of us, they also have their own unique story to tell. So each is for sale individually. They have been made using many different media and techniques, yet what unites them is the encaustic… hot wax melted into them.

Recent Work

In recent years, I’ve worked more and more with mixed media and hot encaustic wax, to incorporate my photography into my paintings. It has lent itself remarkably well to my current themes and methods, including a range of works on a very different format, with tall and thin boards, deep edges and wrap-around images, giving them a 3D sculptural quality.

It is no surprise that, with our recent move to Prince Albert, the joy of living in these wonderful Karoo surroundings is coming through in my newest work, whether encaustic, oil painting, ink/bleach painting or, most recently, cyanotype printing, which imparts a great sense of the nostalgia evoked by living in a town/area where one feels as if one has stepped back in time.

Recent themes are ‘Don’t Fence Me In’, which began with my angst while living in a crime riddled town, and then became a celebration of freedom as we moved to the Karoo, and ‘Celebrating Karooness”, which speaks for itself!
