BOOK REVIEWS
‘Geomotional’ is a remarkable and beautifully illustrated exploration of – as the sub-title says – ‘Geometric art, past and present’. The book, which has us journey through images, words, poetry and song, and gives account of a ‘performance-installation’, is compiled by Mary Elizabeth Lange, who is prolific in her writings on Indigenous art and story, and various intersections with heritage.

Commemorating the men of the Transvaal who died in World War I, the hospital was designed by Cowin, Powers & Ellis and opened in 1923. Funding for the building and equipment was raised by the National Council of Women. For more than fifty years it served the University of the Witwatersrand as the paediatric teaching hospital.
