Fabric is an essential part of life in West Africa; people wear colourful fabrics not only as a fashion statement, but also as a way to express their views. These 20 exquisite drawings show scenes from daily life -- spending time with family, children pounding millet as part of their daily chores, and even the process of checking bee hives! Each scene includes a textile backdrop featuring the cloth of West Africa. These fabrics are part of Hollis Chatelain's personal collection from her twelve years in Africa.
