Look what the MF MOON called from out of the vlei
A creature, a seeker, brewing luck for lunch
A non-smoker, sober, kicking ducks and kak
Heavy floating, coasting
Just wait quick
Just hold on
Feel that bass in the bayou!
Swim this way before the tides move.

A Swamp Monster Self Portrait made during a personal high tide.

It holds within it the emptiness of being a coloured woman from nowhere, just this dead boring area by a vlei, and a decision to stiek uit and be that anyway.

It is about an unflinching acceptance of unacceptable desires as inseparable from my true nature.

During the building and drying process, this piece split right in the centre of the heart, and was repaired by adorning it with more dressings, like we tend to do when we’re keeping it pushing.

Just remember all caps when you spell the woman name.
