Moses Mabhida Stadium - Structure


This is the south end of the majestic Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban built for the Soccer World Cup. The middle strip in the background is where the sky car runs up to the top and from the third or fourth rung up from this side you can do a jump/swing across the stadium.

Painted background, fused stadium enhanced with pencil, Shiva stick, paint and stitching.

I have put an image of the bronze statue of the man himself on the back,  Moses Mabhida.



This has turned out to be the challenge that gave me the most stress even though I immediately new what I wanted to do and how it was going to be done. As mentioned the other day I have procrastinated daily over it.  Now it is finished I am quite pleased.   I will change the quilting of the sky, I think, and do irregular straight lines as I think it will echo the steps at the bottom.  (I have changed the quilting and replaced the picture......better)
