The 2005 power blackouts which swept Johannesburg generated a sense of anxiety and unease on many levels. Drawing on this disquiet, as well as on the ghostly evocativeness of the dark nightscapes, Mary Wafer found material for her current exhibition. The sense of unpredictablity which the blackouts brought, filtered into her painting in the form of urban building interiors imbued with ‘a sense of the sinister’. Exhibition closes 23rd October
