A Childs Perspective

Acrylic, oil, local fabric painted on discarded chair

The amount of sensory information (overload) children face made me want to use simple shapes like cuts of meat(farmers and food security) distorted fish (oceans) politics etc. to highlight challenges and opportunities as seen through the eyes of a child. Positive shapes and symbols far outweigh the negative. It is our wildlife, diverse friendly cultures and plant life that makes South Africa such an alluring place. The many eyes symbolise that we are constantly being watched by our children.
