Artwork Description
Three young boys lie stretched out as if relaxing on a beach, their outstretched arms, raised feet and overlapping bodies creating an easy, playful rhythm. Warm browns, crisp whites and flashes of turquoise stand out against the pale colours and precise markings of the nautical chart beneath them.
The chart traces South Africa’s Eastern Cape coastline from Great Fish Point to Port St Johns. Compass circles, depth readings and coastal details remain visible around the boys, transforming the mapped ocean into an imagined shoreline. Lisette Forsyth brings together the freedom of childhood with the measured language of cartography in a composition that feels both expansive and personal.
Homeland is a limited-edition giclée print on paper, numbered 2/5. It measures 105 x 75 cm and is sold unframed.
