MUTI SERIES
Here’s how I think about my Muti series: it’s inspired by the South African tradition of herbal healing, but I’m not just painting herbs, vessels, bone, and fabric; I’m painting the spirit behind the ritual. I use oil on board to bring leaves, feathers, concoctions, and even skulls into still lifes that feel sacred and a little mysterious. With earthy tones and bursts of colour, I try to capture both the physical and intangible: the weight of an antler, the softness of a feather, the whisper of an unseen ritual. It’s a personal meditation on healing, tradition, and the unseen world that connects us.
