SWASTIKA WHEEL. 1993. Oil (32 X 72”).
ARTIST COMMENT: The essential image is drawn from NORTH AND SOUTH by poet Derek Wolcott: “…as a van delivers from the ovens loaves/ as warm as flesh, its brakes jaggedly screech/ like the square wheel of a swastika. The mania of history eils even the clearest air,/ the sickly- sweet taste of ash, of something burning.”
