Ghebrehiwot – Works 2006 - 2010 – Main Gallery
Ghebrehiwot, an Eritrean-born, South Africa-based artist
works focus on society’s movement towards positive values reflecting the power
of unity, sharing, communication, agreement, conflict management, etc.
Ghebrehtwot’s interest in this concept was inspired by the Eritrean people’s
united resistance against oppression.

Julie
Mayo “The Art of
the Construction Site” –digital photography – Middle Gallery
Having an extensive background in
Architecture, Durban artist Julie Mayo has always had a fascination for
construction sites: the energy, chaos, and danger. The smell of wet concrete and
newly dug earth; the noisy, carefree chattering of the labourers; the
ear-splitting sound of metal against metal; the visuals created by scaffolding,
danger tape, cranes, the geometric skyline.
For this body of work Mayo has
photographed the progress of the construction of the Moses Mabhida Stadium in
Durban, South Africa, and digitally manipulated them to create these stunning
images that are imbued with her own sensitivity to colour, emotion and
atmosphere.
Here the construction site is a metaphor for the
journey that is life: Mayo's photographs have captured the process rather than an
image of the end.
