Impressions of Africa
Signed, limited edition lithograph
Size: Paper Size: 650 x 500 mm
Africa has historically had a capacity for suffering which has often seemed almost infinite. Following slavery and colonialism, a new scourge, HIV, is afflicting millions thoughout the continent. In the second of these works, the imprints of the
hands of children affected by HIV surround that of Nelson Mandela's left hand and this image has a haunting sadness as it reflects Africa's new and truly tragic dilemma. The numbers of those already afflicted by this
terrible
disease
are
truly
appalling and the forecasts are absolutely chilling. Nelson Mandela, now in his eighties but as resolute as ever, is once again reaching out to answer the new cry from those suffering in his
beloved country.
