Archbishop Denis Hurley & Bhekeni Dube
This life-size memorial monument portrays Archbishop Denis Hurley together with Bhekeni Henry Dube. Created for KwaTintwa School for the Deaf in Pietermaritzburg, the work recalls Hurley’s connection with the school and his encounter with the young Dube, who was deaf and mute. The sculpture was produced as a collaborative commission with Ruhan Janse van Vuuren and places human connection at the centre of its narrative.
