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.

Up date...

Hi I took my second visit to Goree today, as a friend was going, infact she did not turn up at the ferry, but someone will always find you, so met with artist Omar Diouf whose work in OFF and he also was going to island to visit the seven OFF sites so all well. Some interesting things to see much flotson and jetson (?) work and similar local paintings but found 'Eme' who was listening to Hendrix and gave me a tune on his harmonica. Some great photographic work in huge old colonial building and the island was beautiful with many local families and visitors on the beach. Just to cover more details on pics already posted Installation by El Loko Negro Heads Ghana and sculture by Alfred Lyolo the Congo. Have documented interesting work by Kenyan artist Ingrid Mwangi she does video installation and perfomance, also interesting Amal Kenaway from Egypt. Cool toute a l'heure
