About Me

My photo
I am a practising Visual Artist/Maker based in South London. My work includes drawing, painting, mixed media, moving image and installation. My practice derives from my experience as a black British woman of dual heritage, a mother and aspects of my background thus far. I assemble, work and rework the multiple strands of this personal material to create work that comments on of issues of identity and culture within our racially complex sociality today.

Acid Rain , Bright young Nigerian student of El Anasui who won a prize his other work I have on video very good. Tunis Taiaeb Bel Hadj 'Parading to Peace'
Manuel Barreto video behind this work he is from Guinee Bissau, he has made two viedo pieces in this Biennial this one include Twin Tower explosion, this sculpture infront made of bullets will find name later. I have met with Tunde Adegbola who is running a community radio station from here that links remote areas of Liberia, Seirra Leone, Guinee Bassau which is very interesting to hear about also he has introduced me to Modibo Diawara of the Media Centre Dakar and he has arranged for me to work with the lovely Miryam a second year student on my project which will be a small film. I will move to a new area away from the city centre to enable me to do this and give me a new experience of Dakar. Modibo sent me with Miryam to see the place and its great so move there next Sunday. Lots happening before but all a bit of a blur so will post some pics of work seen and once again apologies if artists names not provided as catalogue not with me and note book in bit of a muddle
