I'm a embroidery artist based in Kano. I've been making things since 1985 and I still get excited when a new batch of materials arrives.
Most of my work is inspired by my grandmother's kitchen. I watch every football match going.
Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.
More about Yewande
I've had 8 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
