Seyni Awa Camara Hand-Woven A sturdy rope handle addsGathering select works completed between 1990 and 2022, this volume showcases the octogenarian Senegalese ceramicist Seyni Awa Camara's (born 1939) totemic sculptures. Evoking subjects ranging from bestiaries to motor vehicles and maternity scenes, Camara's sculptural forms are divined from her dreams. After preparing her clay, sometimes adding ore or other natural mediums to the mixture, the artist carves the complex forms appearing in each work.
