Korean reliefs

Looking through my archives, I find several reliefs that I photographed in South Korea.  I regret to say that the place is lost to me, though the content is clear.  These reliefs are images from myths in which animals take on human forms, not that different from the many fables of animals in the West.  What I like here is the fresh, almost humorous quality of these images. 

There are five of them.  The sixth is a relief from the grounds of the Presbyterian cathedral in Seoul with extensive reliefs depicting aspects of the faith.

Politics

A few more which are, it is hoped, wry comment on a world that so easily leads to corruption, having started in idealism.

If there is much darkness in the modern history of Africa there is a light on the artists of Shonaland in Zimbabwe.

The tryst of sad lovers

Rest your beak on head …

He who cherishes life within him

A winged leg!

She who ponders life

Women in discussion

Those who long

He who guards what is valuable

Deep comfort

The setting of Kirstenbosch Gardens lends a majesty to the sculptures, a rare experience.  And one sees soon that these works come from a deep source which may be something like unbuntu  –  we are people because of people.

In the company of women

Mother and child, a recurring theme.  I wonder about that brick on the head.

Man and nature
