Artist Statement

I delve into the intricate tapestry of migration bodies and borderlands, aiming to illuminate not only our interactions and responses with our environment but also the shared narrative of marginalized communities particularly those of people of color. Through a fusion of diverse materials, including different clay bodies, my practice centers around Patterns and symbols, incorporating bicycle parts to underscore themes of historical and cultural claims, ownership, and traditional practices. These elements help to evoke the rich narratives of African culture in their most original and unadulterated forms. Through mixed media installations, I create immersive spaces that facilitate a dialogue between the audience and the artwork. By integrating aspects of my Ghanaian heritage and utilizing the human hand as a creative tool, I aim to probe the essence of African identity and its artistic processes as a means of navigating the complex web of migration across the diaspora which is a profound way of accentuating and representation of my “Africanism”.

Each piece in my body of work becomes a celebration of individual and cultural resilience, showcasing the vibrant contribution of migrant communities and affirming the identities of people of color within the broader cultural “Earthscape”. As I navigate the fluid terrain of identity and belonging, I embrace the concept of the ”floating body” as a metaphor for agency and resilience.
