This last weekend I visited the National Museum of African Art on the Mall in Washington, D.C. I was blown away with the metal artwork by Ghanaian artist El Anatsui. He uses discarded metal objects to make what appears to be metal patchwork quilts. These are MASSIVE metal quilts - think KING SIZE. If you are in the DC area, you really should take time to visit this exhibit! And, if you are not within driving distance, click here to see examples of El Anatsui's work. Enjoy!
