‘colorful as the rainbow nation itself, the floating panes form both a maze and a cross through which the visitor delicately wound their way.’ themba mabona writes of the series. ‘on their journey to the centre, they may have fractured this or that pattern of mabona’s life, crunched across sugary fragments, until they finally reached the source of light. that undefined glow which we all hope for at the centre of our lives. exploring materials other than paper, mabona’s oeuvre experiments with their proprieties and emergent levels of meaning. the works fold around the issues of potential, transformation as well as the ephemeral, all the while trying to explore the poetry of paper.’
