Mahama crates large scale textile art pieces by delicately stitching sacks imported by the Ghana Cocoa Board and reused by charcoal sellers. His artworks often drape with raw hems, with each bag showing the names and locations of the importers. Sometimes Mahama disrupts the drab but beautiful brown and black sacks by inserting mass-produced Chinese–African print patchwork as a point of modern globalisation.
