Title: Everywoman
Description: This work, showing the back of a woman's head, deals with what women word-wide have in common.
Although we may have different hairstyles of forms of ornamentation, the essence of women beyond those outward trappings remain the same. I have backed the work with an image of the back of my own head. Any woman could be me or you. Everywoman could be me or you.
Dimensions: 42cm x 52cm
Materials: Nigerian woven cotton, linen, hand-dyed and commercial cotton.
Machine pieced and hand embroidered and embellished with perl and stranded cotton, yarn and wrapped synthetic cord, buttons, beads and metal discs.
