An Artist's journey

As time goes on the original title for this blog has changed. Still greatly influenced by my Dak'Art trip to attend the Dak'Art Biennial 2006, I continue my practice with the strength the journey gave me.

I make artworks, using painting, drawing, mixed media and multi media installation. My work draws on my personal experience as a black woman of mixed-race, and confronts issues of race, culture and identity. I work in community arts with all age groups. My recent studio practice has turned towards environmental issues and uses recycled materials for this purpose.

Up date...

Hi I took my second visit to Goree today, as a friend was going, infact she did not turn up at the ferry, but someone will always find you, so met with artist Omar Diouf whose work in OFF and he also was going to island to visit the seven OFF sites so all well. Some interesting things to see much flotson and jetson (?) work and similar local paintings but found 'Eme' who was listening to Hendrix and gave me a tune on his harmonica. Some great photographic work in huge old colonial building and the island was beautiful with many local families and visitors on the beach. Just to cover more details on pics already posted Installation by El Loko Negro Heads Ghana and sculture by Alfred Lyolo the Congo. Have documented interesting work by Kenyan artist Ingrid Mwangi she does video installation and perfomance, also interesting Amal Kenaway from Egypt. Cool toute a l'heure
