Notes
"The core of her work is about the slippages of memory and the persistence of memory. She has often chosen to speak through the imagery of children. One recurring theme is the archetypal motif of a child's rendering of a house. This most simple and affecting architectural metaphor is closely bound up with the transcribed act of remembering." Neville Dubow. Vivienne Koorland, Exhibition of Small Paintings from the Nineties catalogue, 1998.
Another example from this series, Tomaz' Garden, 1990, forms part of the South African National Gallery's Permanent Collection.
