Part of 'A Shea Garden', an installation rooted in the dry savannah of northern Ghana where the shea tree has sustained communities for centuries, these works bring together Ghanaian terracotta and Murano glass – two ancient craft traditions facing erasure. The terracotta vessels, used in northern Ghana to store grain and goods and to feed chickens, have been translated from dense, opaque clay into transparent, luminous glass, the two materials coexisting in the same installation. Rooted in the traditional songs of northern Ghanaian women, the names of the works – Yel'li (vessels with spikes), Cheko kuna (vessels with cubes) and Man Malya (chicken feeders) – bring together oral memory, local language and the material culture of labour, particularly the ceramic and terracotta traditions historically tied to women's work in the region.
