Dan, I am interested in South African traditions of patterning and mark making. Also, Lena makes her living from beading, so it is a direct reference to that.
Ian, I like the juxtaposition of this image that looks like it should be so traditional with the fact that she is wearing a polar fleece jacket. I think it helps make you point well.
The glow of her portrait is what pulls me in. This is a very soft, beautiful portrait and the graphic design aspects of the dots, squares and paint strokes bring a very interesting message to the whole work. I'd love to see this piece in person.

Ian, these portraits are beautiful.
what is the significance of the dotted lines and dots? is it about human geography?
