This painting was inspired by a photo that I found in the National Geographic of January 2011 taken by Robin Hammond. It’s a gold miner in the border province of Manica. The area draws lots of workers from neighbouring Zimbabwe, who pan for traces of precious metal in Turbin water. I just love how at peace and happy he looks. It’s just incredible that mud can be so beautiful. I really enjoyed working on this painting.

Time, for me, was at first just “the clock on the wall” at high school. When is lunch? When will this test finish? And when is home time?

The decay of an atom indicates that time itself has passed, it is the origin of our concept of time.
