When we conceived this exhibition one of our members said to me “Do something that means something to you.” This is what emerged. I thought back on my past, and what had real meaning for me. I found that the work I had been making 20 years ago still touched my soul and so my InSight pieces follow these same themes. My roots run deep in Africa, and encompass it’s physical make up, it’s people, it’s violence, it’s customs and above all, a spiritual pull that is ingrained in my being.
Making these works has given me a sense of peace that I have not lost these intense memories and connections.
