Zulu Terrain

This abstract composition, with its peaceful colours and markings, brings to mind rolling hills and meandering valleys of the Kwa-Zulu Natal. The points and curves of feathers and leaves billow across the landscape, at once masculine and feminine, hinting at vitality and fecundity. Zulu Terrain subtly evokes the landscape around Ardmore farm, an area with a rich heritage and ceremony. The colour palettes are soft, muted and monochromatic: indigo and blue-grey, sandy neutrals with a hint of blush pink, the ripe green of sun-warmed grasses, and the deep forest greens found in the shade of a spreading native trees.
