he pays his workers more than any other local industry and also pays for their continuing education in other universities if they so desire. He also uses some of his money to fund building art museums on the continent of Africa so that his art is accessible (and that of other African artists) to the people of African nations. International museums in the us and europe have historically acquired African art and exhibited thousands of miles away from Africa.
I love his idea of the art studio being a sacred and quiet place to meditate. ❤️ I've seen his reclaimed materials artwork at the Seattle Art Museum and it's been there for at least a decade now.
Upcycle artist to the max!!! its great to here positive stories from Africa! The corporate US mainstream media only reports negative stories about Africa. Thank you DW.
Oh my gosh, you could never do that in this country.....the patience, the labor, the dedication that these folks are exhibiting....I fear our country has lost that leaning toward the reflective arts. I dunno, is it just me being negative? Anyhooo, life is still beautiful; it nurtures daffodil bulbs that bloom this time of year on the hillsides and in the gullies. This man is a beautiful bulb. Thanks and hugs, cat
