Published: 07.03.2024
This ceramic tapestry has been constructed from thousands of handcrafted clay palm kernel shells, which are woven together using copper wire to resemble sumptuous West African textiles such as Akwete, Aso Oke and Kente. Each shell is bisque-fired, then selectively dipped into ash glazes, before being inlaid with glass from crushed recycled bottles. With the addition of glass, the shells resemble beads historically used as tokens to trade enslaved people, but now considered items of prestige and status in much of West Africa.
