About this work
‘They are jute sacks used for the transportation of food and commodities in Ghana, specifically cocoa. They are produced in Southeast Asia with an intense amount of labour. I was first of all drawn to this material in terms of “the common”: In Ghana almost every home has it. It has a lot of uses. When you take a bus on a rainy day and you need to clean the mud off your feet there is a jute sack there to do that work. If there is a fire you can quench it with a wet jute sack.' – Ibrahim Mahama
