Capturing the Calm is a work from a series whereby the artist integrated African motifs into her abstract paintings. The work represents the fluidity of water, interrupted by the growth of seaweed, weaving through a mass of discarded shells, which have spontaneously clustered into a mystical sculptural form. The shell mass is contrasted with soft plant undergrowth. This work is about the artist’s visual fascination of the world in the cool ocean, away from the harsh glare of sunlight.
