There was once a Traveler...
Inspired by my mother's letters from the 1970s and 1980s, this body of work follows her journey and adventures as a young adult making her way through life...
Children of the Soil
In 1977, my father began a journey that would constitute a monumental change in the direction of his life. This body of works explores in different parts, and through the materiality of different media, my father’s story. It is a story of past hopes and dreams, pain and loss, reconciliation and healing.
Ceci n'est pas l'Afrique
Inspired by Yinka Shonibare’s quote: An image of ‘African fabric’ isn’t necessarily authentically [and wholly] African”, Ceci n’est pas l’Afrique explores, through text, the politics of fabric as an image of national identity and a product of crossbred cultures, through the example of Dutch Wax.
