Ayous

From £42.52Sale Price

African Ayous.

An exotic tree, found in the forests of West and Centrasl Africa. It sits amongst the giants of old such as the Iroko tree. Still widely sourced today for high-end furniture and interior design projects.

Traditionally these trees were used to dig out canoes by the fishing communities. These trees are intrinsic to the forests there, sheltering animals and providing landmarks for historic locations. In some communities, the leaves have both medicinal and culinary uses. 

Gallery-quality reproduction framed, canvas print of a graphite rubbing that I did using wood samples from QTD Group onto paper made from agro-industrial waste.

My canvas designs are directly printed onto the canvas using HP Latex printers with Latex inks. Inks are pigmented and water-based. The inks are non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-flammable inks that reduce a variety of environmental, health, and safety concerns. Inks are UL certified, GREENGUARD GOLD based on the high air quality standards used for hospitals and schools.
