Vote for South Africa
- April 1994
Performance work at the SA Association of Arts in Cape Town to mark the first democratic elections in South Africa.
Performance was introduced to me by performance artist Siliva Zaranek who came to speak at our school in London. I recognised it then as an important form of expression and in
tune with my showman nature. I have used it since art school , where I did my first performance.
The images cover a piece called "Vote for South Africa" in 1994 in which I appeared naked and was
painted with images of a heart and doves which I then printed with my body onto a pre hung piece of paper. The performance was four minutes and the piece (paper and video) was sold immediately to an important collector.
