Status Anxiety, a new work by Sarel Petrus in progress (top) and completed on the studio wall (bottom). Sarel is a Gauteng artist, not strictly speaking in Ysterplaat, but he has a loyal following here.
Sarel Petrus sends postdated bronze elegies to lost life. This 'postage stamp' depicts a frog, long departed. And the bronze tortoises were once made of flesh and blood, like you and I. In bronze, perhaps, they hold time in their posthumous claws.
