About "Africa Weeps for Her Children 4"
I guess with kids in Sudan right now, recently under attack, and my sister in Zimbabwe, on the knife edge of botched elections and a mad dictator exacting revenge from anyone who might have voted for the opposition, it is only natural to be a bit pre-occupied about what is happening in Africa.
It is such a place of contradictions, and I love it deeply, with its wonderful vibrancy and warmth, and its stunning richness of scenery, cultures, wildlife etc. But it would be naive to see it totally through rose coloured spectacles and fail to acknowledge the deep problems in the continent.
This concern seems to be expressing itself on canvas, and I have been doing a series lately, expressing something of the hopelessness of so many in Africa, particularly the women and children, and refugees, and those who depend on outsiders to drop food for their survival.

About Sue
I love expressing my reaction to what I see around me in bold loose brushstrokes and vibrant colours, sometimes abstract, sometimes not! My themes and the way I express them vary widely. I used to work mainly in oils, but also use photography and collage to express ideas. The latest series of work uses encaustic and cyanotype. The melted wax brings a wonderful dimension of transparency and texture to the work.
