The studio behind the piece

Abeni Indigo Studio works from a courtyard dye house in Abeokuta, where indigo vats are tended daily and every length of cloth is patterned by hand. The studio specialises in eleko, the cassava-starch resist technique, drawing motifs freehand or through cut-metal stencils before the cloth is dipped again and again to build a deep, even blue.
