Migration- 1997

Migration - well the word is very bold, an action that a group of people or animals that move from one place to another.... That is what this painting is all about.

This landscape was created using materials such as shoe polish, flying mosquitoes and 22k gold leaf torched into the painting with some bee pollen. All of this was to create a statement of MIGRATION. Pollen- it migrates with the wind and settles in other places, flying bugs they migrate where the leftover food is, gold is moved all over the world. This is about how people migrate from one country to another country.
