CHICKENS

Asana's baby chicks are not such babies anymore. They have turned into the most beautiful bantams. They still love to sit on her shoulder.

NEW WORK

I am always on the look out for sculls, especially ones lying on dusty shelves in junk shops. Trophies: The pride of the hunter, eventually discarded. I buy them and hang them in the garden, on the stoep, in the house. They are beautiful. I cover them with images, giving them a new life of colour and beauty. Dressed in a new skin, I know that their bare boned beauty is under the surface. As I work, cutting, pasting, fitting, certain images resonate with me and spark new ideas. 

Inspiration on my stoep! Bare boned beauty with dove.
