been reading about tribal child raising and the benefits, and we know I like birds… I began this art as abstract patterns, bubbles of pattern that transformed when I realised by putting a ‘fork in the road’ to the concentric circles, that I created an eye and beak. Before that, it could’ve been shown either way up. also, it transformed from earthy brown colours, to a colourful bird. ‘Is it art? ‘my teacher used to always question. He’s not here now. He’s just asking the question still! in my head! I like it-it’s bright, colouful and alive.

As some of you know I am having a bit of a pre new-year overhall today. I found this among some of my work. I thought I would share it. It’s very rare, because I only did about 3 artworks between 1997 and 2006 (LOL – seriously)! This work was done in mixed medium and happened when a friend suggested I try get back into creating artwork, so here it is! Needless to say I am very grateful to my friend who got me back into my passion! Thanks Shaun.
There is another part of me that feels empty. Hatred becomes me. My revenge are your nightmares. When you see me I will take away what you have taken from me. I will suck your life out into me.

The Himba people live in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola. This Himba mother was photographed in her village in far Northern Namibia. The smooth reddish skin effect is achieved by daily applications of a reddish clay mixed with ash and butter. These ladies apparently never bathe in water.

The Himba People live in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola, and are one of the last pastoral groups living in Southern Africa. Himba ladies are renowned for their smooth, reddish skin, and even the elderly are wrinkle-free. The effect is achieved by daily applications of an ochre-colored clay mixed with ash and animal fat. This lady was photographed at Epupa Falls, Northern Namibia on the Angola border.
enjoy!
I’m sort of feeling creative lately.. but not sure what to do about it. So as usual, I covered my stupid face in makeup and took stupid pictures. :D I’m not sure that I really actually like it.. the colors are nice, but it didn’t exactly come out the way I wanted. Somewhat inspired by the Ethiopian Omo people It’s Body paint, eye shadow and a bindi. More from this series: / © Jessica Walker 2009
