About "The Crossing"
The Crossing
The evening lights turn to an Orange as these Elephants start their Trek across the Zambezi river , maybe to the Far off Zambian escarpment or perhaps just to the greener feeding areas on the islands and spurs that jut into the river .
This has been going on for centuries , a site that never fails to thrill as these great monarchs swim effortlessly into this mighty river .
In their world , there is no nationality , no policy , just life , and their trust in their instinct .To them perhaps life is in the moment , and as we sit here debating on how intelligent they are , maybe we should in fact contemplate our own so called intelligence as we single mindedly destroy all in our way in the name of progress
The Crossing , the name often used in reference to movement of the soul from life as we know it to the spiritual world to Me Elephants are Old Souls , the older ones are noticeably wise and have a presence even with us insensitive humans perhaps its time to take in the moment , time to sit quietly and admit that maybe we are not the ultimate intelligent being !

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.
