Senufo Home Door

Notches in one plank of this traditional door speak to the hinge points that held it in place throughout its long life as the entryway of a Senufo home. The vertical planks alternate between abstract geometric design and potent symbolism. Carved out of the provincial wood, these relief designs add texture and motion to the door's natural solidity. The door currently holds a prominent position on the walls of our gallery, contributing a sense of permanency and timelessness to the contemporary pieces of our collection.
