Colorful Cultural Batik Cotton Wall Hanging from Ghana, "Mother's Great Expectation"

Using a painstaking technique where a wax resist is drawn onto cotton cloth before adding colorful dyes, Oluwayemisi Adeniran creates this sensational batik wall hanging from Ghana. It depicts an expectant mother as she communes with God. Says the artist, "African mothers believe that only God can give them children so they keep trusting Him for a child."
