November 6 - December 20, 'Kente' by Gloria Kennedy

This exhibition represents a body of work inspired by Kente cloth. Kente is a native Ghanaian fabric made of interwoven cloth strips sewn together. It was first developed in the 12th century and was the cloth of the Ashanti kings. Although commonly used today, it is still highly esteemed by the Akan family and the entire country of Ghana. My ceramic interpretation of the ‘Kente strip’ is represented by 2’ x 2’ squares of ceramic tiles. Each strip is comprised of 60 to 180 individual tiles. The exhibition also includes other interpretations of African motifs and symbols.
