New artwork: Koekenaap, part of the Nuances series



Nuances: Koekenaap
Photographic montage
Limited Edition print on acid free cotton paper (Somerset Velvet) - Edition Size: 5
PAPER SIZE: 70 x 60cm, Image Size: 47 x 40cm
2012

This print is part of the NUANCES series of landscapes, and was inspired by the landscape around Koekenaap in the Western Cape. In this area a lot of Eucalyptus trees are eradicated as alien invader species, and while the landscape seems quite dry and warm, it is also home to many vineyards and other farms.
