Nnenna Okore (born 1975 in Thursday Island, Australia) is an Australian-born Nigerian artist who works both in Nigeria and the United States. Her largely abstract sculptures are inspired by textures, colours and forms within her immediate milieu. Okore's work frequently uses flotsam or discarded objects to create intricate sculptures and installations through repetitive and labour-intensive techniques. She learnt some of her methods, including weaving, sewing, rolling, twisting and dyeing, by watching local Nigerians perform daily tasks. Most of Okore's works explore detailed surfaces and biomorphic formations. Her work has been shown in galleries and museums in and outside of the United States. She has won several international awards, including a Fulbright Scholar Award in 2012.
