Walking Life | 2022

This series coincides with my (rather late) discovery of the traversable paths among the foothills of Table Mountain and surrounds. After the lifting of our nationwide enforcement of lockdown during the pandemic I could feel my physical and mental health declining and I needed to take some steps to remedy that. I would take many photographs and record the environmental changes with every 7-10km walk and quickly used that as inspiration for these paintings. In many ways, it was the beginning of my journey into painting as a discipline and I used alot of this time to think about how to apply my learning.
