In My Mother and her animals (1994) Helen Sebidi works with rural mythologies, combining the narratives of her local oral culture with her own aesthetic style. This work has animal and human forms merging and assuming one another’s characteristics. In what has become her signature technique, she layers paint and collage elements.
