2000's

"This landscape painting of a Himba Village, depicts the characteristic mud huts, storage structures and ethnographic objects. It is a beautiful example of how my fieldwork recording the impact of modernisation & Anthropocene man on traditional communities and their environment, influences my art. I’ve been recording traditional communities throughout my 50 year art career, where repeat visits allow a unique perspective. Land rights, women’s rights, mining & dams impacting ancestral land, otherness despite being indigenous, modern day slavery, neo-colonialism, monetisation & the threat of cultural obsolescence are all issues I’ve dealt with in evolving series of art."
