Parable of the Sower

Artists statement

Parable of the Sower

The theme behind this work is a continuation of old stories; using

autoethongraphic layers situated within the discourse of the Anthropocene. The

title of my diptych, Parable of the Sower, incorporates both content and

methodology; deconstructing and collaging my old memorial print, May Peace

Prevail and pasting it over layers of old colonial maps which are crisscrossed with

seams of gold; that has fractured the land and the people of Zimbabwe. The

Parable of the Sower has parallel issues affecting both Zimbabwe and South

Africa.

My responsibility lies in my choice to be an artist and storyteller who looks to the

past and to the future to recreate my history.

Mixed media: collaged May Peace Prevail lithograph, old maps ,ink and acrylic
