There is energy in a garden that gives unconditionally.  Using my spade, broom and secateurs, digging and mixing parts of myself into the soil, I can pour my heart out in the garden and yet still return to the house with my heart full.    

These artworks are a growing collection of a cast of characters that grow tenaciously in a sloped and rocky garden right outside my studio.  This steep site was previously a neglected dumping ground for all sorts of leftovers.  Since 2017, I have slowly reclaimed and nurtured it into a thriving indigenous garden.  The plants have been gifted from various gardens of friends across Johannesburg, and some I have collected by taking a sneaky cutting from a public park or rescued from the side of the road.
