PULAAKU SERIES
The Fulani way of life. Pulaaku implies that one can manage oneself well and also that one can manage one's herd well. This series of paintings were inspired by the landscape, way of life and pastoral chivalry of the Fulani people in Fouta Djallon, Guinea.

When I was in Mali doing research for the Djenné/Dogon series I made it a point to visit the village of Senossa close to Djenné. I met the most wonderful, elegant and stylish Fulani lady and her daughter in laws. Her name is Binta Gadiaga. She fell in love with my prints and posed ever so graciously for an impromptu photoshoot.
