Louise Deininger has adopted unconventional materials, such as elephant dung, the kanga, Ugandan bark cloth and cowrie shells to create artworks that provoke critical thought, consciousness, spirituality, and identity.
She says elephant dung, acrylic pigment, kanga, bark cloth, cowrie shells, paper mache masks, Ugandan tea bags, soil and sand “serve as a metaphor for cultural, political and social dynamics of our identity.”
