If you’ve followed me on IG for a while you’ve seen my posts of Bisa’s stunning, vibrant textile art. I am a huge fan and am so excited about this exhibit! Swipe ⬅️ to see the details of this piece “Asantewa” - Cotton, silk, wool, velvet ,and lace
quilted and appliqué
Life sized, 52” x 88”
**there is no paint on this artwork ** (Incredible, right?!)
“Asantewa - defined as a gorgeous young lass who thrives on everything that life throws at her. She is beautiful, smart and a pleasure to look at…for days. She has beautiful hair, somewhat asymmetrical to emphasize her inner longing to be different from all else.” - #BisaButler
