This work explores the fluidity of twists and turns against darkness and
secrecy, using the form and metaphor of lines as an important element symbolizing the crossover between sacred and secular. In it I indulge shame, guilt, rage, and despair, yet still expressing triumph and survival. I pair ugliness with beauty, torment with comfort, anger with compliance and anguish with hope. In destruction there is the creation of something new that symbolizes the human’s ability to rise.
About The Artist
Artist Statement
This series is a kaleidoscope of abstraction between humanity, tragedy and triumph as celebrated during Panafest, in Ghana. The series searches for a sense of order within the overwhelming chaos of ehumanization and the will to survive. My artwork is a visual play between beauty, rhythm and the traumatic interruption that occurred in the natural evolution of African societies - searching for a sense of order in the overwhelming chaos of wearing the crown of Mother Universe.
