About "Walking Into the Void"
Walking into the void
I was fortunate enough recently to bump into this old Gentleman , His tusks are symbolic of an era that is fast disappearing
The plight of Tuskers and Elephants as a whole is becoming a very serious issue .Seeing this great animal was a 'Moment 'for me - a moment ,a sensation where you suddenly realize that life is short -a realization that time doesn't actually exist -we just don't have time !!
life is fragile at best ,its easy to lose sight of this in the world of today , but we cant afford to . We don't have to make the same errors as others have before us , we don't have to just follow in the wake of others. Deep inside we will always know , our intuition will always tell us .
This Great animal walking over the crest of a hill , into the sunset ,perhaps into the void?, an end to yet another era , one that we as humans have ended , all in the name of Progress
There are too many of us who have lost our way not wanting to be alone in the crowd - its easier that way .
Take some time and work out what the things of true value are , and you will discover that you cant exchange money for them!

About Astley
Africa is not a subject I discovered -- it is the landscape I grew up
listening to.
My work centres on baobabs and other enduring trees of the
Zimbabwean wilderness. These forms stand at a scale beyond the
human. Marked by seasons, drought, fire and the passage of
elephants, they carry visible records of time.
I am drawn to their presence -- not as symbols, but as living
structures that have witnessed generations before us and will
likely remain long after. In their stillness there is a sense of
continuity that shifts one's perspective.
Painting allows me to slow that encounter. It invites silence. My
intention is to create work that encourages a deeper breath -- a
moment in which the viewer feels both small and quietly
connected to something older and enduring.
Each piece is grounded in lived experience of the Zimbabwean
bush, where endurance is not metaphor but reality.
