Stories of West Africa

Fabric is an essential part of life in West Africa; people wear colorful fabrics not only as a fashion statement, but also as a way to express their views. These 20 exquisite drawings show scenes from daily lifespending time with family, kids pounding millet as part of their daily chores, and even the process of checking bee hives! Each scene includes a textile backdrop featuring the cloth of West Africa. These fabrics are part of Hollis Chatelains personal collection from her 12 years in Africa.[AuthorName]By Hollis Chatelain[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Fabric artist Hollis Chatelains dye-painted scenes of multicultural life convey the stories of women, children, and the environment.
