The people of Somaliland Republic have shown to the outside world their value, belief and exceptional quality with respect to dealing and embrace of universal democratic norms and values. The way in which Somaliland voters behaved during local council elections, how they exercised their constitutional rights and how they respected the rule of was a well-expressed, admirable and powerful message to the world. All in all, the way in which the Somaliland people have fulfilled their civic duties was a wonder worthy phenomenon in the entire African continent

For the last four General Elections I have prepared a piece of art work, starting on the day the manifestos are published.
My self imposed rules are that I record only what is reported in the media, and that the piece is completed on Election Night whilst listening to the results.
It's a fascinating task as the changes in emphasis can be immense and then easily forgotten as the process rolls on.
This year, for the first time ever, events have consipired against me, with a family wedding and a house move, so I have had to scale back my efforts and make a much simplified version. I won't even be here on Election Night, so the last emotional stages will be missing.
My take on this year's Election is that it is an election by the media, with the first televised debate between the leaders of the three main political parties, and also the use of such things as blogs and twitter.
The piece will be in the form of a textile "page from my sketchbook" and I have shown here one of the central images. This is from a press photograph of the first debate and I loved how the photographer managed to capture the dynamics of the group.
I transferred the image to calico using the Acrylic Mat Medium method and then stitched this to my previously prepared background.
I have already voted, using a postal vote!

I have went down the road of classic political posters of the 50's and 60's, with washed out colours and bold typography.
I just pray to god Obama wins! Hope can set you free ;-)
