Mongrel

2016 at Ebony Gallery as part of the Franschhoek Literary Festival.

I did the cover illustration for William Dicey’s collection of essays, Mongrel, before I’d read any of the essays. When I got a copy of the book and read the essays, I felt I’d got rather lucky to have been involved with something so clever and insightful.

I also thought that I’d like to make some paintings in response to two of the essays (‘Miss Meat Festival’ and ‘South African Pastoral’).
