Jacquard woven tapestries. 2022. Edition of 5. 

Materials: Acrylic yarn, cotton, polyester and wool. 

The tapestries are adapted from two drawings from my Lagos Drawings project were I appropriated  the language of religion, advertising and politics in Lagos to comment on contemporary realities rooted in the city and beyond. With the tapestries, I was interested in playing with the scale of my work and engaging with new materials and textures.

Developed and woven at the TextielLab, Tex tiel Museum, Tilburg, Netherlands.
