About "So You Think This is Easy"

The teapot transformed into the snake (both are symbols of dual sexuality - *not bisexuality - more anima and animus). As a child I had a 'waking vision' of a snake. I began to realise that this snake was the 'African Snake' (linked to the Rainbow Serpent of Aboriginal mythology) which manifests during times of great stress and is an agent of awareness and change. Manifesting thus during the apartheid era, I began to realise that I (as an artist) had a mission to 'make visible' this mythological animal. The 'hidden' damage caused by apartheid thus makes a visual statement.
