This painting was inspired by a photo that I found in the National Geographic of January 2011 taken by Robin Hammond. It’s a gold miner in the border province of Manica. The area draws lots of workers from neighbouring Zimbabwe, who pan for traces of precious metal in Turbin water. I just love how at peace and happy he looks. It’s just incredible that mud can be so beautiful. I really enjoyed working on this painting.

A sweet treat using buy-up staples.
Tired from being told what to do. I am tired of love, tired of being deemed guilty, tired of my own remorse. I am tired of my own self-doubt, my own shadows and especially tired of my own face.
Hate’s a strong word, but for you it’s reserved. I hate what you’ve taken from me, my parents, my childhood and my glee.
My blue eyes look so drained, but I’m strong, I’ll make it through.
