Karoo Alone III , . Charcoal on paper 90 x 150 cm.

'Landscape Alone'

Karin Daymond at Gallery2

'These are landscapes in which my sense of aloneness prevails. I constantly puzzle over the idea of landscape art, painfully aware of its loaded history. Those burdens of acquisition and dominance are always with me and so for a moment I sought a state free of these ideals and agendas. These drawings are an escape, a simple search for a state intrinsic to everyone.'

Karin Draymond's series of intensely observed Karoo landscape drawings are a homage to South Africa's 'vast and cautious' interior, a terrain both arid and vulnerable, and at the same time a meditation on a particular state of mind. In combination they suggest an awareness of the subtle yet crucial continuity between human beings and their environment.
