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.

Combination


CASSAVA is a combination of previously shown installations, some recent paintings and two works specifically fabricated for the show. Inspired by my daughter Esther’s recent visit to South Africa to see her father and the year of the world cup the making of the South African flag and some thought provoking text seems to contextualise the show within the space.
HLM Costume shown in ‘Three’ at Picture This 2007 and in ‘Voices’ at the Bristol Museum Gallery in 2008 and Cassava – Clothing Art Saying Something and Valuing Alternatives shown in ‘Craftivism’ at the Arnolfini earlier this year, seem to complement each other as textiles pieces with a backdrop of the Nigerian flag.
