Artist Statement

In my work, I often find myself drawn to archival items and historic objects, which I use as a starting point to explore questions of identity, heritage, and cultural memory to bring the idea of restitution.

I am particularly interested in the concept of appropriation within the history of Africa and its diaspora – the act of taking existing materials and recontextualizing them to create something new.

My mediums range from acrylic paint, screen print, sculptures and amongst others, to address and explore new narratives that speak to the present moment while also acknowledging the past.
