~ Pirouette Surreal ~ Strangler Fig, Dargle Nature Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, South Africa. Charcoal, conté crayon and chalk pastel on 600mic (390gsm) grey DeHalm. Size: 77 x 102cm (30 x 40 inches). NB: This artwork requires framing (with glass). In an ancient indigenous forest, a dance of decades plays out, where a strangler fig envelops, constricts and consumes its host. Our depiction sets out to capture the evocative swirling motion of a living sculpture amidst the restrictive closeness of its surrounding foliage.

In one of the ancient indigenous forests of the Dargle Nature Reserve, a dance of decades plays out, where a strangler fig envelops, constricts and consumes its host.

~ Enchanted Trail ~ A forest pathway somewhere. Charcoal, conté crayon and chalk pastel on 600mic (390gsm) grey DeHalm. Size: 77 x 102cm (30 x 40 inches). NB: This artwork requires framing (with glass). Indigenous forests such as this always captivate me. With their dense foliage encroaching all around, there's an apparent closeness; a stillness that threatens to stifle, were it not for the expansive richness of light and sound, textures and fragrances alluding to the creatures and elementals that abound in places such as this.
