These tapestries
on canvas,
feature vibrant, intricate patterns of silken cord applied with
wheat
paste. In both cases, the dyes are made from native Nigerian plants, with both
colors
and herbs chosen for their curative properties.
Chief Oloruntoba recommends that the
paintings be framed and displayed without glass covering,
thereby freeing the healing power and spirit of the work to communicate with the
viewer.
Also, one should from time to time spend moments of
prayer and meditation in front of the work.
