‘Survival Part I ‘, Acrylic, collage and embroidery on cotton poplin. Inspired by my trip to Cameroon, West Africa. In Cameroon, as in many societies the church is the pillar of the community. I was interested in the duality of the benign and sometimes menacing elements of the church;its all-pervading beliefs and ethical code, which in itself brings about death, historic and current, as the most recent Pope condemns the use of condoms and thus perpetuating the HIV/AIDS virus.
The church however is also a means of bringing communities and people together, a place of charity and family.
