Kuba - Une

Kuba - Une

My Kuba series paintings are inspired by the bold, abstract geometries and rich textures of hand-woven raffia cloth from the Kuba people of the Congo. The cloth is woven of fibers from raffia-palm leaves. Left in its natural color or dyed with organic red, brown and ochre dyes, it is sewn into applique and reverse-applique treatments. Production of these textiles is a multiple stage process which involves the participation of children, men and women of the same clan, which is another reason the cloth has attraction for me.
