| "Colonization, unlike natural migration, 'breaks the hoop' because it involves a proprietorial usurpation of land and everything attached to it.
The site - the Dutch Reformed Church parsonage - is a clearly demarcated propery and represents the European notion of land ownership.
The barn-turned-garage is more than just a framing element to the superimposed forms i.e. the pyramid, the plinthe and the 5 separate bundles of braai wood. It is the barn's proportions, tones and textures that, in relation to the added forms, engenders the work's meaning. The containment and compression of the pyramid by the barn suggests its function as a signifier of human colonization."
