OUTA PIET BALELIE
Have not seen Outa Piet for a long time. He has been visiting me once a month for years and we have collaborated on an exhibition. He with his amazing hats and all the stories and pithy one liners that he invents and me with sketches and paintings of Piet and his wife Gertruida. He is illiterate but loves words. Today he told me in Afrikaans, "Die ligaam is groot maar die office is klein" (the body is big but the office is small)
We have a date for mid April.
