There are some great artists in Kenya. (Well, I admit, most every country has some great artists.) Since Nairobi has many tourists that come through, as well as lots of global aid agencies having bases here, there is a ready market for their art. I'm a prime consumer, at times.These wire artists are quite resourceful. The "rubber" is electrical tape. The hubcaps on the VW are ends of D-cell batteries.
The wheels turn and the hoods (bonnets, for the English-speakers out there) open.
This post is dedicated to The Lone Beader, who creates art of her own. She had asked to see the some art, many moons ago.
