Poised on one foot, a graceful dancer whirls to a dance with the Damba tribe of northern Ghana. Dressed in a single cloth of batik, he wears beads and feathers on ankles and arms, and holds a traditional tool covered in kente cloth. Emmanuel Atiamo Yeboa creates the exquisite scene in silhouette. "First and foremost, I assemble my working tools, after which I sketch images on the calico cloth," Yeboa explains. "With the sketches done, I sprinkle red and green oil paints on the calico cloth to give it a simple colorful background. I then cut out particular places I intend to replace with batik, which are later glued together. Afterwards, I dry and frame my collage work." Mixed media, this work of art comes in a frame of tweneboa wood. Handmade by Emmanuel Atiamo Yeboa "My name is Emmanuel Atiamo-Yeboah. I was born in the Eastern Region of Ghana on July 3, 1956. "I worked at a government survey department from 1981 to 1982. I was later asked to attend their Cartography College. Upon graduation I worked further, but due to lack of professional satisfaction, I left for Nigeria. That was in 1983. "In NigeriaI worked with a sign-writing company. I started with the sign writing department but later changed to the artwork department. I polished my art skills in that department. I later worked with a company that exported African arts and crafts. We toured the whole of Nigeria buying goods. It was on one of these tours that I came across this type of artwork and fell in love with it. I suggested to the owner of the company that I make some for export. We bought one of the works, and I modified it and in the process created something new and unique. "In 1993 I decided to come back home
