Media: Charcoal Dust mixed with water and graphite on Museum Mount Board
Size: 11x8.5 in
Sold
This is another one of my African Wrapper Series.
The African Wrapper is popularly worn by African women and it is a notable feature in the fashion of who we are as a people. I have positioned the model here to reveal a bit of elegance and sudden spontaneity for the piece to have a refreshing feel as she lifts part of the garment. This one was done by starting off with Charcoal dust mixed with water and finishing off with graphite. You can see some of the stages of this on my blog: http://www.adebanjialade.blogspot.co.uk/ I normally write words into the dark shaded areas, I do this to create textures and also to add real words that apply to work and things going through my mind as I work on the piece.
