TUAREG, POSTS, Niger © Tim Hamill
The Tuareg are fiercely independent nomadic people. On the move with their herds and camels over vast areas of the southern Sahara, they produce no masks or figures but instead create an impressive world of traditional, abstract, beautiful, functional objects of leather, wood and metal, all aged by time, wear and use.
Leather was their main material; the Tuareg tanned, painted, embroidered, molded, engraved and fringed it to make saddles, colorful travelling bags, milk jars and tent mats, all portable and befitting these "Nobles of the Desert". Wood was carved into posts of many inventive forms, all intricately covered with geometric designs. Once supports and holders, they are now an enchanted, weathered forest of totemic sculptures.
