Artwork Description

Desolate

0.0 x 0.0

2011 mixed media: sawdust, acrylic paint, crackle medium on wood. H: 120cm w: 90cm Relief: 0.5cm Tenth part of the depression series. Abstract landscape of a drought that has crippled our nation for decades especially our farmers. The sawdust is used to make the arid cracked landscape. It also resembles the death of vegetation and crops. The blood is for the loss of wildlife, livestock and the life or farmers who lost all hope and took their own lives. I feel a terrible loss for them and their families, as I know what it is like to lose everything including the one you love. changes colour depending on light sorce.
