No Blue Sky

No Blue Sky

2005  40" x 30"

I met this Hausa man in a Fulani camp close to the Sahara. He as working for the Fulani as a builder in this semi permanent village. I called it "There is No Blue Sky", because it seemed to me that the sky in Niger was rarely blue as we know it. There is always a haze of fine dust that gets into everything! The sky is silver leaf.
