Oil on canvas, 2001, 70 x 100 cm. Where does it come from this remembrance of a bad mother? Where did it was born this idea of an oppressive authority? What had we made, my sister and I? Had we to be punished? Had we to be judged for a bad action? But my mother wasn’t like this. Why these bad thoughts? The fragile glass bulbs are stored safe on the top of tall cabinets, so that the children can not reach them, and break.
Tonight i start a record of some sort of online portfolio of my work. once completed i shall be creating my next piece. i hope this is where i can motivate myself deeper into my mind space

The Basquiat style gives me the liberty to write commentary, to make connections, to send messages on the face of my artwork. My show "After Basquiat: Fragmented Imagery, Mischievous Thoughts" was an experiment in colour, text, imagery which I adopted to make social commentary and depict a very diverse nation while asking the viewer to examine ourselves, our relationships, the way the world manipulates us and simply to enjoy. The selection of works is a set of thoughts, concerns and observations. Some of these images are accompanied by a QR code that allows the viewer to listen to sound, observe movement and learn more about the work. It is a way of drawing the viewer in.
