IBRAHIM MAHAMA | A SHEA GARDEN
View through Artsy
The inspiration for 'A Shea Garden' are terracotta objects from northern Ghana, containers for grain and other goods, alongside spherical pierced forms used as chicken feeders. Rendered in transparent Murano glass, luminous and weightless against the opaque clay, the two materials grow from the same ground.
