Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | This construction is part of the artist's Gawu series that includes a number of "cloths" made with recycled metals--liquor bottle tops, evaporated milk tins and wire--that were gathered in and around Nsukka, Nigeria, where the artist lives and works. While the artist addresses global ideas about the environment, consumerism and the social history and memory of the "stuff" of our lives, his use of recycled materials also recognizes that human creativity and ingenuity are employed in creating something from available resources, including items that are discarded. The artist's "cloth" works also celebrate the woven and stamped textile traditions that remain vibrant in Ghana and Nigeria today. |
