This linocut depicts an aardvark quietly moving across the sparselandscape of the Karoo, its solid form grounded against the open terrain beneath it.Rising behind the animal is a swirling field of magical iconography—symbols, animals,and abstract markings—suggesting an unseen world of energy, memory, and myth. Thecontrast between the calm, earthbound aardvark and the animated symbolic sky
evokes a playful tension between the ordinary and the mystical, as if the creaturewanders unknowingly through a landscape alive with hidden meaning.
