Inspired by this year’s Pantone colour, Greenery, these decorative banana leaf prints combine the use of soft pastels and vibrant green hues.
Created for A Night for Kings, an exhibition to raise funds for African boy, Kings Chimungu, to fulfil his dream of becoming a veterinary assistant and continue the work he does for the Chipembele Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in Zambia.
While the titles, Allow to Grow and Stillness of Evening, have an obvious reference
to the growth of plants, more importantly, they reflect the simple gesture of providing opportunity so that others may flourish. Given the right conditions, anyone can grow and our growth will in turn have a positive impact on others.
The banana leaf was selected for these pieces as historically it served a range of helpful applications to many.
