Dung beetle inspires Senamolela

Emmanuel Senamolena, the multi award winning ceramist’s  work currently exhibited at Thapong Visual Arts Centre is great breath of fresh air and is somewhat an antidote to the frantic life. The crafts at the gallery teach us how to look at African art especially that it brings in the concept of the dung beetle.

Dung beetles are creatures that use the manure, or dung, from other animals in some unique ways by forming manure into a ball using their scooperlike head and paddle-shaped antennae.
