"PINK"
Cassava powder wood glue paint on canvas (wood glue and varnish spraypaint).
75cm x 44,5cm x 3cm.
Together with BLACK, BROWN and WHITE this will formed into an installation.
An artwork on surface colour, human inequality (rich/poor and discrimination), poverty (for the enrichment of a few), combined with a protest to unnecessary un-equal food distribution around the world and the unhealthy manipulation (sugar, salt and grease) as addictive additives) with food.
Cassava is in this serie of 4 "paintings" because it, in contrast to 'WHITE', represents one of the "original" staple foods in Malawi (and Zambia) before maize took over (and diversity, the staple food market and politics). Cassava represents tradition and maybe a look back to the older and maybe "better" days for some (farmers and poor people depending highly on this cheap staple food).
