Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed. Joseph Addison

The Story of Ewe

Ann Gadd - The Story of Ewe

Once upon a time Ewe worked for a large IT corporation. She quickly climbed the corporate ladder to success. One day there was a big corporate merger and Ewe was"left to pusure other interests," and was replaced by Shawn, who had more RAM. Ewe felt like a lost sheep until she realised that what she really wanted to do was to shear spiritual heights - to seek the answer to "Who are Ewe?"
In her quest for The Truth, Ewe has studied the great philosophers - Plato and Socrates became her pals and Jung her astral analyst. She listened to every bleat of her guru, Sigh Baabaa who preached regularly to his flock and wrote a best seller: “Rams are from Mars and Ewes are from Venus.” She attended workshops in “Creating Ewe” and “Finding your Inner Lamb.” She experimented with grass, became a vegetarian and locked horns with conventional beliefs feeling that most sheep have had the wool pulled over their eyes.
Finally one day she realised: Gee, Ewe are Ewe. (Guru)


This is the brainchild of a local Capetonian artist called Ann Gadd. I fell in love with the idea, and though her philosophies are sometimes a little 'left field' I cannot help but admire her originality and fabulous sense of humour. Please, check out the site and see a bit more about her.
