Batik Tapestries

A series of unique hand dyed and sewn tapestries inspired by native West African trees that celebrate the innate power that exists throughout the local landscape. While at the Kokrobitey Institute during his residency he explored traditional West African textile making techniques and embraced the unpredictable nature of the batik method while weaving in his own abstract style.

He catalogued the shapes and symbols found amongst the trees surrounding him and began to document these as a new language of symbols. Once he collected enough of these, he reproduced them as batik textile patterns to adorn the series of tapestries. The tapestries celebrate the practical, medicinal and spiritual qualities of each of these powerful trees that hold such importance in the Ghanaian natural and cultural landscape.
