Surface Letters

About

These letters were created to show what Surface Ritual as a concept means. Limitless mediums, foraged natural elements used to create treasured ornaments. Items which that have deep connects to West African practices, patterns, and weaves. Blended with the materials of local Scottish surroundings. Each of them with an Adinkra charm acting as wards and keepsakes.
