This series of works on paper was started in an artist-in-residency in Nairobi, Kenya in May 2013, where the works were produced and shown together with Andries Fourie (USA) and Nicky Marais (Namibia). This series also marked the end of my digital drawings and the beginning of my utilization of artist mediums related to colonialism (paper, ink and water-color). This process has continued since I began using this method in Kenya in 2013.
