This is probably the most difficult body of wT
This is probably the most difficult body of
work that I have ever produced. I don't
suppose any work related to genocide is
anything other than difficult, and yet I was
shocked at the degree that these paintings
affected me, both physically and emotionally,
during their creation. They are all inspired by
individual stories, some that I cannot bring
myself to repeat, some that I have
contemplated since the Rwandan genocide
of 1994. All of them changed me.
Collectively, they brought me to the
realization that the human race does not
polarize into angels and demons, the seeds
for both lie within each of us. The paintings
here represent that dichotomy. They forced a
departure from my habitual view of reality and
became a meditation on unity and division,
life and death, beauty and terror.t
