Wall of JCE, St Andrew's Rd, Parktown:
Deborah, meaning honey bee, is known for her flaming hair. After being abused by her first husband, she became an alcoholic and ended up on the streets. Fourteen years ago she fell pregnant and turned to the Anglican Church. She was rehabilitated and has been running an Anglican Nursery School for the children of abused women for ten years.
The dual nature of the bee symbolises the material and the spiritual aspects of life, as well as the creative feminine aspects of in all people . The image further plays on her nourishing and sustaining work in her community,
