The pure feeling one experiences in the Kalahari is very cleansing and after this trip my imagination was fuelled with insight that I am still grasping.

Since January 2004 I have been planning this trip and never lost faith that some how it would be fulfilled. Circumstances lead me to discover that Wayne Hammon, a fellow artist, would be up in the Kalahari for a month during April and May working on a ceramic project with the bushmen. This worked out well for myself and Ray, a friend who I had asked to join me.

Upon arriving we stayed near Askham with Wayne and I was reunited with the bushmen, some of whom, including Biks Kruiper, remembered me from my visit to the Kagga Kamma.

The bushmen are small in size and are very humble people who only take from the land what they need to survive. I realised the knowledge these people have of the land is very extensive. They are also master spoor trackers.

During my stay I experienced so much Beauty, tranquillity, softness and the ancient, spiritual feeling of our mother earth talking to me. It was Awesome!

The bushmen create beautiful art and craft which they sell at very affordable prices. We bought some to support them and I will sell this in my shop in Cape Towns V&A Waterfront.
