This exhibition couples paintings from two parallel series. The one is derived from photographic slides of my family taken by my grandfather during the 1960s, mostly depicting life in suburban South Africa. The other series is derived from the last photographs of ‘the disappeared’, people who died during a similar era in the fight against apartheid and whose remains have not yet been found.
