The Ethiopians:  In 2004 I came across a commemmorative panoramic image of a plain in Ethiopia in 1994 where thousands of desperate people had gathered seeking help from the famine made famous by people like the journalist Michael Buerck and Bob Geldof and Band Aid. On close inspection of this image with a magnifying glass I identified many family groups and it struck me that even within this calamitous situation parents were trying to amuse and distract their children during their long and sometimes fruitless wait. This set of paintings is a series of vignettes of this 20th century biblical scene.  They look lovely as a set altogether.
