Woven portraits of illuminated women appear in a swirl of flowers and foliage, colourful patterns and textures. These delicately embroidered works are representations of what South African artist Kimathi Mafafo describes as ‘a state of ebullience’, a feeling of joy and energy that is connected specifically for her to feminine power and liberation. Bringing together a bold series of new works that were created in collaboration with women that Mafafo has trained in weaving, her latest exhibition serves as a joyous celebration of sisterhood and self-love.
