Seni Awa Camara

Seni Awa Camara (b. c. 1945) is a Senegalese sculptor. She was born in Bignona, where she still lives and works. She creates her sculptures in clay in her front yard, then fires them in an open-hearth kiln before displaying them around her house. The pieces, ranging in size from 12 inches tall to 8 feet tall, represent personal symbols.

Camara's work is in The Contemporary African Art Collection (CAAC) of Jean Pigozzi.
