Captivity portrays opression... the barring of liberty... The concept behind this creation emerged from many sources - from Aborigine art to modern minimalist paintings and sculpture by way of Chinese and Japanese ink paintings and prehistoric cave paintings. The mood of our times is a return to the primal which also resonates in abstract Persian Gabbehs. The simplicity of this collection using undyed wool in natural colours or a minimal number of colours, two in this case, marries archaic art and the contemporary desire for sobriety and purity.
