Working on a new exhibition can also be a lot of fun, I have
the joy of playing with colours and forms - and the extra
joy of having some wonderful assistants who willingly come
and share the often arduous work with me.
I also am blessed with 'strange coincidences'. This work
commenced in October last year (2002) with the title "Memento
Mori" (meaning : "Remember always the death"). Since
that time two major crises have occurred which have, in
themselves, contributed to the emotional power of this
particular exhibition.
I love to work with 'abstract' art..but then, all art is subjective
is it not.....both for the viewer and for the artist.

" All my creative work is a striving to weave a link to the world. I weave because this link
was at one time broken. Thus my subconscious provides an inexhaustible wellspring for
me to draw from. My weaving becomes a symbol of this - the threads are entered into the
warp: the connection is re-established; the inner bond materialised"
