Posted • Congratulations to Abu Mwenye, one of ten selected artists from ! This work and nine others will go on exhibition later this year. FAM's curatorial staff had this to say: "Abu Mwenye’s eye-catching Beauty in the Beads Series exhibits impressive technical skill. Playful layering and stunning color complement the beautiful representational portrait. The connection to the Maasai necklace is clear, and the strength and femininity of the subject thematically relate to the Nigerian medicine pot."

Material Matters is on view in our main galleries through April 24.

I cannot judge my work while I am doing it. I have to do as painters do, stand back and view it from a distance, but not too great a distance. Then I hear the voice in my head asking how is it?
I replied. It's coming out great!!
