Karin Daymond documents the South African landscape where she lives. Her paintings contain patterns, rhythm and color. They are a beautiful record of how she views the changing landscape and environment.
In another set of her paintings, maybe due to the more subdued color choices, she is able to give the impression of the landscapes being alone, untouched and left alone but she lets us know this often has not been the case. She says "Life in South Africa is always controversial, ironic, violent, absurd and tragic. Debates rage and yet the land is always there regardless of to whom it belongs. Natural elements reassert themselves through the seasons, patterns and contrasts."
