After a visit to Robin Island Jail in 2015, I was so emotionally touched by the whole experience that I felt I had to create a work to record it. I had to work from photos we were allowed to take. The overall colour was significant in all the photos – mostly greys – only the table in his room was a strange green. The text are quotes from Mandela’s Biography – A long walk to freedom.
