Arriving in Paris: Meditations on motherhood by Senegalese sculptor Seyni Awa Camara
Arriving at Paris+ par Art Basel are two terracotta sculptures by the Senegalese artist Seyni Awa Camara. The Wolof artist was born in the 1940s, one of three triplets โ a mythic origin that evokes the interplay between the visible and invisible worlds in African cosmogony. She was raised by her mother, a potter, who taught Camara about sculpture as a child. To this day, Camara models her clay in front of her home and fires the work in an open-hearth kiln. An inner calling guides her work: many pieces reflect a world of animals and humans, or as seen here, maternal figures surrounded by children.โฏ
Seyni Awa Camara, Untitled (2019) and Untitled (2023), are presented by Magnin-A (Paris).
