BEADED BEASTS
The Shop Floor Project Presents | FOLK ART FROM SOUTH AFRICA
|
Appearing to be wrapped in African rugs or tattooed with ancient symbols, these extraordinary sculptures are hand-beaded by a co-operative of women in South Africa, who are breathing life back into the ancient craft of beading. With a sell-out exhibition at Sotheby’s Fine Art and a collection held in the Smithsonian Design Museum, these striking handmade 'folk' sculptures have gained quite a cult following. |
