About "Rhino"
As the evening colours cast their shadows, this female Rhino and her calf move off from their vulnerable position by the water.
Vulnerable because like us humans they are creatures of habit, and have been slaughtered for nothing more than to satisfy a
demand erroneously believed to be medicinal. Sought to satisfy the requirements of some far off market, that has no respect and
understanding of the terrible damage they have done to this species and others. In fact, it is embarrassing, knowing what we know
has happened to the Rhino of Africa, that we are still divided about the conservation of all species here.
Interference from powerful bodies, who should know better and don't stop to contemplate that the facts come from people at the
rock face whose lives are passionately guided by the preservation of all species here. Our inability to prevent foreign interference
in our own magnificent heritage is a sign of our total lack of understanding in the enormity of ecological collapse under the guise of
progress at any level.
Listen, the drums are beating!

About Astley
Africa is not a subject I discovered -- it is the landscape I grew up
listening to.
My work centres on baobabs and other enduring trees of the
Zimbabwean wilderness. These forms stand at a scale beyond the
human. Marked by seasons, drought, fire and the passage of
elephants, they carry visible records of time.
I am drawn to their presence -- not as symbols, but as living
structures that have witnessed generations before us and will
likely remain long after. In their stillness there is a sense of
continuity that shifts one's perspective.
Painting allows me to slow that encounter. It invites silence. My
intention is to create work that encourages a deeper breath -- a
moment in which the viewer feels both small and quietly
connected to something older and enduring.
Each piece is grounded in lived experience of the Zimbabwean
bush, where endurance is not metaphor but reality.
