This body of work explores the notion of hidden talent and potential, understanding that, from the moment we are born, each of us has a specific purpose or destiny to fulfil. As a concept itself, Imfumbatho refers to the birth of a child, denoting the mystery that inevitably surrounds its future successes and accomplishments. Luthuli’s artworks engage with the complex process of self-development, charting how, as we grow, we find ourselves along the way.
For Luthuli, his “birth secret” revealed itself to be his ability to create intricately handcrafted artworks. He began to use wood to distinguish himself from other artists. However, the wood process is particularly challenging as each work is meticulously hand carved and then painted, requiring patience and determination. The sweeping scale of many of these pieces reflects the perseverance of Luthuli’s process, which never limits itself creatively. Luthuli begins with MDF wood board, typically sketching first to position his figures and patterns. He then uses a marker to embolden his lines before beginning the painstaking carving process; it can take two to three weeks to carve out a single piece. Once this step is complete, the artist applies paint to each individual part before varnishing to ensure the work’s durability.
Luthuli’s choice of the wood material provides a connection to the past; his ancestors’ livelihoods had often centred on handcrafting. In this sense, the artist’s latest body of work is a continuation of a far-reaching creative journey that extends back to his forebears.
Similarly, Luthuli’s exhibition sheds light on the patterns and practices of traditional Zulu dress and design, which are made up of vibrant and intricately woven beads. Growing up surrounded by this particular culture encouraged the artist’s fascination with colour and also with circular forms, inspired by the beading used in Zulu women’s clothing. The circle holds a particular significance in African culture, often symbolising oneness and, equally, the unfailing continuity of life.

When considering roofing options, a cost-benefit analysis is essential to understanding the long-term advantages of metal roofing. While the initial investment may be higher than traditional materials, metal roofs' compelling benefits warrant closer examination. From exceptional durability and longevity to energy efficiency and reduced maintenance costs, metal roofing offers significant value that can translate into substantial savings over time.
This analysis highlights the financial implications and emphasizes how metal roofing can enhance a home or building's overall performance and aesthetics. Property owners can make informed decisions that align with their budget and long-term goals by delving into the financial and practical aspects of metal roofing.
Initial Investment vs. Long-Term Savings
When considering a roofing solution, homeowners often weigh the initial investment against the potential long-term savings. Metal roofing presents a unique opportunity, as impressive energy savings can offset its upfront costs. Thanks to its reflective properties, metal roofing can significantly reduce cooling costs in warmer climates, helping to keep indoor spaces comfortable without relying heavily on air conditioning.
The integral airspaces in metal roofing systems can enhance insulation, allowing buildings to maintain desired temperatures year-round. These energy-efficient features contribute to substantial savings on energy bills, ultimately making metal roofing a cost-effective choice that pays dividends throughout its lifespan.
Investing in metal roofing safeguards a property and promotes sustainability and economic benefits for homeowners while delivering reliable performance.
Reduced Maintenance and Repair Costs
When considering the durability of metal roofing, it's essential to understand how regular maintenance can significantly reduce maintenance and repair costs over time. By investing in routine inspections, homeowners can catch potential issues early, preventing costly repairs and extending the overall roof lifespan.
Well-maintained roofs tend to withstand the elements better and save homeowners from the financial burden of extensive damage. Additionally, maintaining cleanliness and promptly addressing minor problems can significantly minimize future costs related to roofing repairs.
By prioritizing maintenance and inspections, metal roof owners can ensure their roofs remain in excellent condition, leading to long-term savings and peace of mind.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Metal roofing is known for its durability and significant contributions to energy efficiency and cost savings. Thanks to their reflective properties, metal roofs effectively deflect sunlight, keeping homes cooler and reducing the need for air conditioning. This can lead to a remarkable reduction in cooling costs, with studies indicating that homeowners may experience energy savings ranging from 7% to 15% and, in some cases, up to 25% annually.
Additionally, metal roofs are highly compatible with solar panels, allowing homeowners to leverage further energy savings and maximize their investment in renewable energy. Building owners can enjoy a blend of strength, style, and substantial financial benefits over time by choosing metal roofing.

Affirmation #71 - November 21st, 2010
This is my good listening and concentrating face. As we approach the end of the quarter here at school and are all stressed out and sick of each other, understanding is pretty damn important. We're all basically in the same boat, don't really wanna piss anyone else, but there is also the strong desire to kill each other. So yeah, understanding this, each other, and some other things will help us in these troubled times. Maybe all the prospective grad students who visited OU and said everyone was "super stressed" were onto something....
And even if you're not in an intense graduate studio environment on the QUARTER SYSTEM, this basic information applies.

Invoice discounting allows your business to sell its sales ledger, but unlike invoice factoring, credit control stays in-house. This means your customers will not know that you are using an invoice discounting facility, keeping the whole process completely confidential.
Invoice discounting is a very popular choice for businesses of all sizes and lets you unlock up to 95% of the full value of your sales invoices, and is perfect if you do not want to relinquish control of chasing payments.
