Abstract

Description

This artwork shows how Bettie Cilliers-Barnard incorporates familiar and timeless signs and universal symbolic forms in variations of the simplified shield form, usually presented frontally and strictly symmetrically. Here a beetle-like human figure is juxtaposed onto a rectangular shield with rounded corners.
