Evoking subjects ranging from bestiaries to motor vehicles and maternity scenes, Camara's sculptural forms are divined from her dreams. After preparing her clay, sometimes adding ore or other natural mediums to the mixture, the artist carves the complex forms appearing in each work. Camara then fires the clay on a wooden pyre before immersing it in a liquid obtained from putrefied tree pods, lending the sculptures their color and robust, textured quality.\u003cbr\u003eAlongside installation shots and artwork images, this volume features both a new essay by curator, writer and art historian Eva Barois de Caevel, as well as an old text by Louise Bourgeois, originally published in the 1996 book\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eContemporary Art of Africa\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEva Barois de Caevel \u003c\/strong\u003eis a curator in the Department of Contemporary and Prospective Creation at the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou, Paris.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Nino Mier Gallery\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublish Date: April 07, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 128\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN\/UPC: 9798986436289\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 11.9 X 9.7 X 0.8 inches | 2.3 pounds\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBISAC Categories: Arts \u0026amp; Hobbies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Seyni Awa Camara","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48230605881579,"sku":"9798986436289","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/4014\/9820\/files\/9798986436289.jpg?v=1778248113","url":"https:\/\/rep.club\/products\/seyni-awa-camara","provider":"Reparations Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
