Anya Paintsil

 

Anya Paintsil makes large works of 'hairy art' often incorporating her own hair, using a punch needle and a latch hook and borrowing from techniques used for rag rug making and punch needling both techniques are born of poverty and learned from her grandmother.

“The association with the domestic, the creative output of working-class women historically, and accessibility is also important to me: Rug hooking was most often carried out in the home by women with very basic and cheap tools and fabric. You can create very large rugs without needing a big loom or other types of expensive apparatus.” Anya Paintsil

These works are large and challenging not dainty and easily ignored.
