Beautiful, blond blue eyed young woman, looking straight at you. Dressed in an elegant , slightly revealing closely fitting black dress, arms comfortably at her side with one hand lightly touching her upper thigh. Her hair shows signs of darker roots even though she looks naturally blond. It is hard to see what she is thinking, her big blue eyes reveal little, one would like to think it is arrogance, but there is no trace of that; Possibly the confidence of youth, what a young woman has when she is comfortable in her own skin. A perfect nose and full red lips. Without the lipstick this young woman would provoke unsolicited conversation.
The black box is the customary Government Warning Label with black type in the centre on a white background.
Government Labels are becoming an increasingly visual interruption to commercial packaging and products sold. It appears to me that Governments believe we need them to do the thinking for us, mother us, and protect us from evil.
The label for Lipstick is This product could provoke unsolicited conversations.

Born in South Africa 1951. Studied Fine Arts Painting at the Pretoria Art School. Graduated and started his career working for his mentor, Hans Potgieter, South African Kinetic Artist for nearly a year, until a job as Art Director in a local feature film became available. Three months later joined the SABC TV and did a BBC TV training course for 9 months, learning all aspects of television, cameras, sound, editing. Seven years of editing and started directing documentaries and TV commercials. Always painting when possible as the hours in TV were long and hard.
