Painting on the Wall, Cape Town


the wall that i painted in cape town recently was sponsored by the british council. the image was inspired by a picture that alexia webster took in macassar, cape town...
of protesters, women, children, men and the elderly... "backyarders" - families who live in back yards because there is no space or housing available or provided by the state. they had taken over an empty piece of land in protest...

i also chose this location because it has a certain resonance to it. as it is where the protesters gather before they march to parliament." via
