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.

Yemaya


mixed media on canvas with plastic debris hanging

Yemaya, could be getting a little distraught at the sight of all the pollution of her oceans.  This work is on the subject of her interventions as she serves in her role as the Orisha goddess of oceans and rivers.  Yemaya is the mother of all the little fishes and right now it seems that there is and invasion of debris floating around and its increasing by the day.  What is the world doing about it?  She is getting vexed and attempting to protect the wildlife for future generations.
