Eneida’s practice was almost the complete opposite-starting with a simple object or an idea and letting her creativity and surroundings lead her in unexpected directions.
Ebenezer liked to begin from a blueprint. When he met Eneida Sánches, a Brazilian metalsmith, printmaker, sculptor, and installation artist, one of the first things Ebenezer noticed was that their approaches to making art were very different. He has always been the kind of artist for whom planning and structure are essential to his creative process. He is a jeweler and designer who has developed an innovative line of bracelets, earrings, and home goods that feature iterations of ancient West African symbols known as Adinkra. Ebenezer Akakpo prefers to have the idea for whatever he is making fully formed in his mind before he begins constructing, with all the problems he can foresee worked out ahead of time.
