This body of work is about mapping connections from my memories of particular significant objects, grouping them according to where they were found or who I may have been with at the time. The objects rekindle my curiosity about what has gone before and what traces are left behind as memories.

 

They recall various landscapes, like the arid, scoured Karoo and other beautiful places passed through or where we stayed on childhood holidays. They remind me of the open veld where wind moved through chest high grasses, of playing for hours or making in my parents workshop or studio. Landscapes of the heart. Soul places.

The paintings evoke the peace and contentment and containment of childhood, but also the joys in current exploration of places I go.
