Commission for St Elizabeth's Hospital, Lusikisiki: 2015/16
These are central images from artwork done for the hospital's new resource centre. In total the work covers an area of approx. 1metre high and 49 metres in length, stretching round the interior of the atrium area.
Each of the panels shown is 1m high x 1.8m wide.
Medium: hand-coloured woodcut on mdf board.
Owing to the scale of the work, no prints were made from these blocks.
Client: Eastern Cape Dept of Health
Commissioned by TJ Architects

The Perlemoen Minutes
Six of eleven images from the series based on local politics in my home village. A proposal to start a perlemoen (abalone) farm on adjacent land caused bitter conflict between those who wanted the development, and those who didn't. Eventually it was turned down, but the factional hostility endured.
