Magic carpet at Camps Bay beach. A red sunset with a blue sky above combined to give me a striking purple.

African calligrapher, me
This is a self-portrait, the quill-wielding, running figure at the Southern tip of Africa being the way I see myself in happier moments.
All those other fantastical, interlocking and interconnected letters and symbols - many of which come from African writing systems - represent the way I, as a white South African, see Africa with all it's incredible diversity and liveliness, but especially all those indigenous languages who's sounds and forms I so love but do not understand.
