This exhibition of telephone wire baskets is titled Hear Me Out and is based on an ancient ritual and rite of passage, ear piercing or Ukuqhumbza, which is a ceremony performed when young Zulu ears where pierced. Zulu earplugs speak of the coming of age and the opening of ears to the world of the adults. The baskets are created using hard wire, a technique produced by weaving telephone wire from the inside out, with the wire being wound around the core wire in outward circles. The designs that she has incorporated relate to the geometric shapes of traditional Zulu ear plugs which are no longer being used as readily as they were in the past.
