The painting ‘Seël’ refers to travelling as a form of communication, but more specifically, in this instance, travelling through the Free State. The conversation between the two scenes; telephone poles on the one side and clouds that are passing like smoke signals on the other, refers directly to the elements of communication. The use of red in both scenes as well as the thin red line that separates but also joins them, recalls the old tradition of tying a string around a parcel and sealing it with red resin.
Die skildery verwys na reis wat ‘n vorm van kommunikasie is. In hierdie geval ‘n reis deur die Vrystaat. Die ‘tweegesprek’ tussen die twee tonele,die telefoon pale en die wolke wat verby vlieg, soos rook seine, verwys direk na die elemente van kommunikasie. Die rooi in beide die tonele asook in die dun rooi lyn wat hulle skei maar ook verbind, herroep die ou gebruik om pakkies te verbind met lyn en met ‘n rooi hars te verseel.
