Tapestry, National Gallery, London
Amidst all the masters, this colourful woven tapestry by modern day artist Chris Ofili.
"The title echoes the writer and black activist Maya Angelou's powerful autobiography, I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings."
Simply brilliant.
"The tapestry is hung against a painted mural. A sequence of swaying
monumental temple dancers entices the visitor towards the richly coloured wall-hanging."
