Al is daar nie ‘n poskantoor, vulstasie of OTM op ‘n Suid-Afrikaanse dorpie nie, sal daar ALTYD ‘n kerk wees. Ons land is bespikkel met dié argitektoniese meesterstukke wat so ‘n groot deel van ons herkoms vorm. Ek het bietjie rondgesnuffel en op ‘n paar pragfoto’s van kerke in Suid-Afrika afgekom.

She started to transform her surroundings around the age of 50, inspired by biblical texts, the poetry of Omar Khayyam, and the works of William Blake.

Index of

“The Owl House is a national monument in Nieu-Bethesda, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Her work was a source of suspicion and derision within the village and during her time, Helen Martins received very little support or enthusiasm about her work. Her lifelong exposure to the fine crushed glass she used to decorate her walls and ceilings caused her eyesight to start failing in 1976. She committed suicide on August 8, 1976 by ingesting caustic soda, aged 78.”
