2017

We move forward from two successful exhibitions in 2016 in Prague and in the USA to the challenge of an exhibition in the Netherlands in the Autumn. We continue to work on A2 sized pieces in portrait format and will be producing four pieces over the year with the theme of 'Freedom'. An essential part of our art is working in series to a common format which does give us all a framework for our creative endeavours.

ADINKRAHENE

Adinkrahene is one of the many Adinkra symbols from Ashanti region in Ghana.  All the symbols have meaning.  This is a symbol of greatness, charisma and leadership - not that it applies to me!  It is one of the most important Adinkra symbols and apparently the basis for many othersI have, of course, used it as it suits my circles theme.  But it also fills another need - of wanting to make some pieces based on Adinkra symbols. The three circles at the bottom have been stamped using a traditional calabash Adinkra stamp.

  1. Ayeeko, I love the sense of colour and ballance. Is that hand stiching I see in the bottom circles?
