Baba Wague Diakite is an artist who defies categorization--a fact that reveals as much about the limits of artistic categories as it does about Diakite's multiple talents. Both Malian and American, the artist has been a resident of Portland, Oregon, for more than fifteen years. He expresses himself in many media, from ceramics and textiles to storytelling and architectural sculpture. He creates both "high art," made for display in museums and galleries, and "craft," household objects that are made to be used. His work playfully draws together elements associated with "traditional" Malian and "contemporary" American cultures.
