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.

Afo Juba, Irin Ajo




Images from footage of HLM Costume shot by Maryam Fall. My film on the art in creating a Taylor-made costume in Dakar.
At the Market and Final Outcome

Looking back on the Afo Juba, Personal Experience of my trip I still feel envibed, oh is that a word, well that's the feeling so all good the Journey, Irin ajo, introduced me to many that I am keeping in touch with and plans go one to develop the schools link I worked with Hannah More School on my return and we based our project 'Art for Living' around the Dakar documentation that I returned with and edited especially for the schools works. The pupils made fantastic work and the school is keen to be linked with the Ecole HLM in Dakar so am on the plot for that. Also communicating with Maryjam regarding the HLM costume film and with Adama Boye artist at Village des Arts on artist exchange. At the Bristol end it feels different and more difficult to move things on but I am persevering with finding the best way to develop movie and get it seen. Have given three presentation the final on a great success at the A Bond with Spike Island this received a good response with about 35 people attending.
