This string installation is called, Woman - The Cradle of Civilisation. The inspiration behind this work is the belief that women hold everything together just like my black strings Women are the centrifugal force in society. The black thread represents the diversity of life because black is the combination of all the colors in the spectrum. Throughout history, civilisations developed and progressed through the stability that women gave by nurturing the family core which led to the sustained growth of the community. Agriculture fueled commerce which created livelihoods for women and their families. I believe that art and culture is the bedrock of civilization and that the symbols in this work represent the origins of life, growth and connection through language. Women have use language to nurture our growth and the spread of civilizations.
