We all have thoughts in mind which can be private. It is part of everyday life. This inspiration came to me during my recent stay in Senegal in my hometown, Bargny. Art always fills my orbit when I am home. This woman is like any other in a rural setting where everything is connected to the rhythm of the land. Her connection to her decorative culture, her braids, the beads, the bracelets, her posture and expression along with the textile design she wears. When everything talks to me, I am surrounded by art. I don’t really need to know what’s going on in her life, I just like what I see.
