tin griot

This whimsical kora player was created from recycled cans. Insect spray and air freshener were two popular metal sources, whose designs and colors were carefully incorporated into the construction. When we went to the antiquitaries market, we could see the artisans cutting, bending, and soldering the metal, transforming items otherwise headed for the growing garbage heaps into unique works of art.
