For this exhibition I did a painting called "The Last Fish". It's a cautionary tale.

A story about ancient man who lived off the earth's bounty, hunted and fished to feed and clothe himself and then passed on his wisdom to his offspring, but sadly his simple way of life has all but disappeared and it's no longer possible for simple man to live off the land.

The land is parched from lack of seasonal rains or exhausted from overproduction, unable to produce fodder for the animals who come to graze, but die instead. Polluted and abused, rivers no longer sustain fish fit for human consumption.

The moral of the story: modern man does not respect the earth and the last fish was consumed many years ago!
