Eric Adjetey Anang
Central Library Bubbler Room
April - August 2018
Eric Adjetey Anang is a Ghanaian sculptor and fantasy coffin carpenter. He was born in Teshie, Ghana, where he lives and runs the Kane Kwei Carpentry Workshop. During his time in Madison as the Bubbler artist-in-residence, Eric interacted with the public through hosting workshops on woodworking with hand tools, while creating his next life-size wooden coffin. During the month of April, Anang was in residence in Central Library, and between May and August, he was in residence at Pinney Library.
Individuals of all ages were welcome to visit the library and explore the craft of woodworking, try using a variety of different hand tools, and learn more about the sacred tradition of designer coffin making. Drop in during Eric's open studio times in the coming months. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult.
Anang was also selected by a jury in 2019 to be the inaugural artist-in-residence in the Bubbler’s Thurber Park Residency.
