Silk Wall Art of an African Woman from Ghana, "A Misty Day in Tamale"

Carrying a bowl atop her head, an African woman sets about her day in this piece of wall art from Ghana. Abubakar Sulemana draws inspiration from quotidian scenes in the town of Tamale to create this composition. He works with dyed silk threads, carefully laying each one by hand. The subject wears a colorful shirt and head scarf as she is framed against a striped yellow background.
