Yaw Obuobi
About
I ,Emmanuel Yaw Obuobi am a resident artist and architect. I have been developing the Yarn Collage technique for over 25 years. My work as an artist serves to preserve memory through:
Expressive Portraits
Realistic Still Life
The Interpretation of Symbols
I use Yarn Strokes (lines of yarn) in three dimensional drawings to uniquely capture imagery. I manipulate yarn into a variety of contextual effects such as interlocking, weaving, misting, cottoning, layering and shredding to emphasise perception and depth.
Emmanuel Yaw Obuobi has exhibited in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America
