A portrait study of Topsie, an indigenous farm labourer from the Karoo. She was more than just an extra hand around the farmhouse. She was a proxy mother and sister. Typically her facial features mirror the rugged living and harsh environmental elements the Karoo landscape offers.
Regardless her eyes always twinkling , revealing an inherent joy and abundant love, also a little mischief.
