Artwork description:
Nkata/Basket ( Igbo language, eastern Nigeria)
Pop cultural exploration, expressing the hidden but ever present fixtures we take for granted in our daily lives.
Baskets weaving is an ancient skill that has been passed down over hundreds of generations across Africa, and recently evolved into a highly expressive contemporary art form.
Originally crafted to transport agriculture, it became a dynamic craft which has been altered by socio-cultural and economic factors and trends. They are a common fixture in our daily lives, you see them in markets and on the roads, in homes and at the beach. They are an important part of local commerce and trade
Materials used:
Acrylic, Archival Ink
