Notes

“The Coffle series was created in which I set out to portray the reality that people are inseparably connected to each other and each other's past, present and future.  To give life to this concept I have used the haunting images of coffles (a line of slaves tied together (Arabic word "cafile" meaning caravan)."  Jaco Sieberhagen in Featured Artists of the RMB art collection, https://www.rmb.co.za/artof/artistJacoSieberhagen.asp?q=5, accessed 17 March 2021.
