This
is our own personal collection. It is a work
in progress. We view it and appreciate it primarily as a
work of art, an expression of ourselves. It is put
together with a focus for aesthetics, beauty, cultural
significance and traditional expression. Most of the items
were collected on our numerous trips to Africa
and they range from museum quality pieces that have been
ceremonially used to more recent exclusive pieces that are
inspired by traditional and ethnic art, theology and
mythology.
On our more recent
trips to Africa we have had the opportunity to
experience her at her
most intimate, her most raw, her most vital - from her
boisterous urban cities to her traditional
ceremonies out in the bush.
This collection is a
reflection of our relationship with Africa. Most importantly
it is a symbol of our
appreciation, our way of showing and sharing this
beautiful continent, its wonderful people and
its vibrant cultures.
