| The works were symbolic of the spirit of South Africa and the social and political turmoil of our times. I used the theme of the magical, protective talisman to project the eventual triumph of hope over despair. The talisman is a magical, protective charm worn or carried to avert evil from or bring good luck to its holder. |

Taliman Figure 1988 - 1989
(Details) |
|
|
| The figure is suspended in a colourful gateway as if entering a rite of passage. It appears to be surrounded by a protective aura and in its sexless self vibrates with life and colour. It appears to transcend life over death and hope over despair. |
