ACCESSORIES OF ILL INTENT
Watercolour on 300gsm paper.  740mm x 500mm
 
Accessories of Ill Intent uses the secretary bird as an allegory for institutional power — elegant, precise, and capable of harm without appearing violent. The objects he wears and carries signal privilege, functioning as tools of bureaucracy rather than decoration. There is no visible victim; the damage is done quietly, through systems that exclude while maintaining civility. The work reflects on how authority often operates most effectively when it is refined, unquestioned, and well-dressed.
       
Delivery is included in the selling price to any major city centre in South Africa. ( Estimated delivery charge is around R200.) Any other destination will be calculated and added once the delivery address is given. This includes any town like Pretoria, Johannesburg, Bloem, Kimberley, PE, East London, Cape Town, Durban etc. If you are situated in a very remote or very small town you will only have to pay the delivery in excess of R200. The first R200 is on me.  A precise quote will be given before you pay for the painting.
