BOWLS
102 x 152 cm. Acrylic on Canvas. 2002 This painting was inspired by a photograph by Yann Arthus Bertrand of an aerial view of women in the Ivory Coast waiting to use a water pump, having laid their bowls in a long row running up to the well, effectively creating a queue of bowls. This painting pays homage to the women throughout the Third World to whom the task of collecting water mostly falls, often involving many hours of walking every day..
