Product Description

Batik wall hanging, Working Together: Home & Kitchen. The desired image is drawn on the fabric before the colors are applied. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Conversing as they share the work, two women make fufu in a mortar and pestle, alternately pounding and turning the traditional Ghanaian dish. The savory mixture of boiled cassava and plantain is served with all kinds of soups and eaten mostly by the Ashanti people. Portraying the women in traditional clothing, Alexander Nyankson presents a batik wall hanging he names Mmoa, or Help inch in the Akan language. Artisan Info: I was born to a Ghanaian mother and father on January 25, 1979 in Ghana, where I had my basic education. I started drawing at the age of six and in by high school, I was adjudged the best student in art. Visual Arts was one of the subjects I sat for at the Advance Level in 1997. I specialized in painting on textiles. There was one lecturer by the name of Winfred Dzibordie, who was then into batik works. He used his expertise as a teacher to encourage me to perfect my skills in art. I undertook training in batik under him and that yielded positive results. I worked in his shop for about two years and that enabled me to set up on my own the following year. I mainly use cotton material for my works. The process is to have the fabric dyed with one color after the other.
