STORYBOARDS
Limited Edition, Fused Glass Wall Panels Sheryl has long been collecting and studying the arts of indigenous African societies, and most recently spent time in South Africa and Southease Asia. It is no wonder that the appreciation she has for indigenous arts would be a source of inspiration in her work. These STORYBOARDS were influenced by the West African (Bamana people of Mali) tradition of Bogolanfini (Mud Cloth). In this tradition, social stories are conveyed through symbolic patterns "painted in mud" onto thin strips of cloth. These individual strips are then sewn together to create large pieces that often recount important historical events or tell moral or social lessons. Like the Bogolanfini, STORYBOARDS are also composed of strips of symbolic images intended to be "read" by the viewer. While some STORYBOARDS have a more obvious African influence, all rely on potent universal symbols to tell their story. STORYBOARDS are mounted on black wood panels (ready to hang)
All STORYBOARDS are signed and numbered. Many more designs available. |
