Threadwork, 'Dagomba Dance'

Home / Bedroom Accents / Wall Decor
 
 
Dressed in traditional ceremonial regalia, drummers dance to the throbbing rhythms of their own instruments. Spectators share in the excitement of the festival, shaded from the African sun by colorful parasols. Randy Abeka Abbam creates an intricate and colorful portrait of the Dagomba people of northern Ghana. "I depict a group from the Dagomba tribe drumming and dancing in their ceremonial costumes," he says. Abbam creates the bright images by patiently gluing cotton thread to a card stock base. Cotton thread on card stock, the work is framed in tweneboa wood.
