Sphyfro Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom
I am a multidisciplinary artist exploring the body, spirituality, African heritage and the languages of expression. Through painting, sculpture, masks and performance, I explore identity, emotion and embodiment, creating work that connects ancestral knowledge with contemporary ways of seeing, feeling and being.
My practice is multidisciplinary, exploring the body as a language for identity, emotion, spirituality and cultural memory. I work across painting, sculpture, masks and performance, often using colour, pattern, form and movement to express feelings and experiences that can be difficult to put into words. My work is influenced by African heritage, ancestral connections and the idea of the body as a space where personal and collective histories meet. I am interested in awkwardness, unusual poses, transformation and the different ways we communicate through physical expression. Through my practice, I explore embodiment, individuality and spirituality, creating work that invites people to connect with their own sense of identity, feeling and presence.
