The Dash

R15,000.00 – R27,000.00

Statement:

The Dash

I read of a man who stood to speak at a funeral of a friend.  He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning…to the end.

He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears but said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own, the cars…the house…the cash.  What matters is how we lived and loved and how we spend our dash.

So, think about this long and hard; are there things you’d like to change?  For you never know how much time is left that still can be rearranged.

To be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we’ve never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile…remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy is being read, with your life’s actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say about how you lived your dash?

Description: I was on a Woodstock Graffiti tour in Cape Town with a group of fellow photographers. Having not been to the Woodstock Exchange before, I took a little gander when a storefront window caught my eye. It was closed, so I took the opportunity to shoot to my heart’s content. One can get quite self-conscious when photographing something. Have you ever watched a photographer bounce around a subject trying to get the perfect angle? The inspiration for this modern art piece was born right there.

I named this One-Off art piece ‘The Dash’ because the minimalistic line reminds me of a poem by Linda Ellis.

Big Art – The Dash

This big art piece is inspired by Franz Kline’s abstract expressionistic paintings, as well as Rorschach’s inkblots.

The Cold Can’t Hurt Me Now

R8,700.00 – R11,100.00
Statement: Spring means different things to different people. To me, it means that soon leaves and blossoms will be blooming after a long winter slumber. It is the time of year when we are gently reminded that all good things come to those who wait. Description: I named this limited edition print 'The Cold Can't Hurt Me Now' because the colours remind me of Spring. When I was a child, winter was such a miserable time of year for me, and I remember the excitement I felt as the windy August month was coming to an end and warmer days were on the horizon.

How To Bend and Not Break

R8,700.00 – R14,850.00
Statement: Love bends, but it never breaks... whatsoever you do, do it in love. Description: I named this work of art How To Bend and Not Break because the green colours symbolise life, and the red symbolise love. And there is no life without love, for they are intertwined.

Break Through the Veil of Tears

R15,000.00 – R27,000.00
Statement: The time has come for you to find freedom in joy. Meditate on this; Joy is your strength, the reason for sorrow is being taken away, and things are turning around. Description: This digital artwork was inspired by Franz Kline’s abstract expressionist style as well as Rorschach’s inkblots. While hiking in the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, the catalyst for this modern art piece was born. I named this One-Off contemporary artwork "Break Through the Vale of Tears” because it speaks to me of reaching a place in life where our baggage has become too much to bear. At this point, we must be courageous and take a leap of faith, do whatever it takes, to reject this place of unhealthy familiarity and soar. And by choosing to move forward, the things that have weighed us down will begin to fall away.

Life After Death

R8,700.00 – R21,190.00
Statement: When you thought it was all over, tempted to throw in the towel and sit down in a heap of ashes, out comes the sun and wipes your tears away. It's time to get up and try again. Description: I named this limited edition print ‘Life After Death' because there is no evidence whatsoever that indicates it had suffered a devastating wildfire seven months before.

Hold Your Horses

R15,000.00 – R27,000.00
Statement: Conscious breathing is an essential act of living because it forces us to slow down and take a deep breath. This holds several benefits for us, such as decreasing stress, increasing calm, relieving pain, stimulating the lymphatic system (Detoxifies the body), improving immunity, increasing energy, lowering blood pressure, improving digestion, and helps support correct posture. Description: I named this one-off digital artwork 'Hold Your Horses' because the idiom refers to slowing down and, the inkblot appears how I would imagine an overactive mind in the process of restoring calmness would look. Notice the cloudy and flakey parts dissolving away.

Boxless Thinking

R15,000.00 – R27,000.00
Statement: Neither trapped by the box (past) nor tethered to it. Tether points are like invisible strings that tie us to the past and keep us from functioning fully in the present or creating emotional space for new beginnings. Description: I named this One-Off digital artwork 'Boxless Thinking' because the Inkblots series is based on the idea of engaging with quantum emotions and thoughts. So rather than just going through the motions of daily life, you are free to be the co-creator of every moment.

Be Afraid Not To Move

R15,000.00 – R27,000.00
Statement: When we have some setbacks, it is important that we keep moving forward although challenging. The choice is the difference between growth and stagnation. Description: This figurative art piece was inspired by Franz Kline’s abstract expressionist style as well as Rorschach’s inkblots.  I named this contemporary artwork 'Be Afraid Not To Move' because it speaks to me of energy, and there is a lot of it in this piece. My question to us all is, what would our current movement project be if it could be measured? Would there be a dot, a dash, a leap, summersault, backward flip?
