Black and white panel


This is a recent panel which I made for the current exhibition on at Kalk Bay Modern, a variation of the usual panels in that the tiles are irregular sizes which I find rather exciting...

'EXQUISITE'

Exquisite is the title of a group exhibition (David Walters and Friends) to be held later this month at
The William Humphreys Art Gallery in Kimberley. We were instructed to make smallish items. I have chosen to make a botanical panel composed of individual tiles with images of birds, flowers, insects etc.
