£995

A continuation of Touray's "Invisible Women" series of abstract paintings exploring the position of women in Gambian society. He uses domestic utensils as symbols of women in their absence.

'When you come to the house to visit, she has gone out. The door stands open revealing the empty interior...when you come looking for her she is never there.'
