Reclamation

















This wall hanging (Dusasa II, 2007) is by El Anatsui, an artist from Ghana. From far away it looks like seashells in a net, but close up you find it is discarded bottle caps and liquor seals woven into copper wire. He is considered one of Africa’s foremost living sculptors.
