About this item

"This batik wall hanging from Ghana reflects a tradition among African hunters where they pour alcohol onto the ground in order to appease the Alade Igbo, or 'forest goddess.' Artist Oluwayemisi Adeniran depicts the faces of the hunters in the batik style, drawing with a wax resist onto cotton cloth before adding colorful dyes."

Oluwayemisi Adeniran

"My name is Oluwayemisi Adeniran and I was born in Nigeria in 1963. I create batik wall hangings. My friends describe me as an easy-going, gentle and creative woman.

"I became interested in this craft because my parents are artists. When I was a child, I enjoyed art and learned my craft from my parents. I, too, have taught others. I had to experiment a lot to master this craft, but I especially love bringing my creativity to life. When people like my work and buy it, this is a great inspiration, which makes me want to create more.

"Starting on my own wasn't easy, but I've come this far with God's grace. A difficult time for me was when I attended university and didn't have enough money.

"I use dyes, wax and cloth, and I work with the help of a few family members. One day, I hope to open a textile school to teach people and also open a gallery to showcase my works. My dream is for my textiles to become known around the world."
