Artist profile

Nnenna Okore has been nominated by El Anatusi as an emerging artist whose work may be complimentary to the Channel 4 collection. Her work will be on display in the Channel 4 Headquarters from May 2008.

Nnennas work is inspired by the sights, sounds and architecture of her native Nigeria. She uses traditional craft techniques such as sewing and weaving, combined with simple materials like clay and twine, to produce her delicate cloth like wall hangings. She is also influenced by the recycling of discarded objects and uses newspapers twisted together to create ropes, which are then transformed into her delicate sculptures.
