"ANU E NSE MI"

Includes

Ankara fabric, Thread

 

Hand stitched

 

This piece is a reflection of a phrase, a term a yoruba Nigerian parent would sometimes use to discipline or guilt trip their child. Another way you could say it is...

"I feel sorry for the trouble you're about to get into" as if it's a warning. I wanted to experiment with hand stitching and common yoruba phrases on traditional fabric. To maybe alter its actual use. However I also I liked the aspect of the writing being hard to read amongst the busy patterned Ankara material.
