Painting the burnt landscape after the recent veld fire. On show in Stanford during the Bloom festival.

“Goggamadinges” (“Insecthing”), terracotta, 60cm forms part of the ongoing Fragile Beings series of biomorphic animal forms. This imagined creature relates to accompanying charcoal landscape paintings of fire-ravaged terrain, suggesting that regeneration is somehow helped along magically. The veld fires exhausted the provincial firefighting annual budget within a fortnight.
