“Metaphysics is a central focus and concern that is reflected in my work that concerns not only life as it is led in Botswana but in general. <span class=”text_exposed_show”>Generally, the painting is abstract with some occasional use of figurative images. I continually explore how best to express different levels or veils of existence or reality in me and others and how that may be best expressed and so also use installation and mixed media as alternatives to painting. I believe that the viewer should interact with the work, bringing to the experience their own perspective and interpretation, which leads them to find their own meaning, or not, in a work. These interpretations complete the work and are valid for each individual since the world is a matter of our own interpretation anyway. In this way, the works are “open-ended” and there is no attempt to try to make people see things in any particular way. At the same time, it is wonderful if the original feeling and concept of a work succeeds in being conveyed and shares something with the viewer.”</span>
