Fabric Manipulation
I have been experimenting with fabric manipulation techniques.
It has taken me a few tries to achieve the effect that I envisioned. I've been doing a lot of research at the National Museum of African Art on scarification, tooth filing, coiffures, and distortions of the body and body paintings.
These of some of my research books and I plan to experiment with more textile techniques and manipulations to match the particular African body arts.
The next few books explore the transience of life and this textile manipulation technique is perfect.
