Direct Print On Aluminium Dibond Edition of Dimensions (WxH): 50.8 x 38.3cm
As a Visual Artist, her work is created from the particularity of who she is : a black woman, a feminist, a daughter, a mother, an activist and a British Textile Artist.
Her collages often explore the politics of representation and the tensions and contradictions of a Black European or Black British identity.
For many years photography and, specifically, self-portraiture have played a key role in her work. While many of the manipulated images become Felted Textiles, each series of work also generates ‘stand alone’ prints.
Unusually the subject of her latest work is herself! The catalyst was the news and from her doctor that if she is to save her lungs she has to stop working with fibres.
Daunted, bemused and a little frightened of the enormous changes ahead, somewhere she is also excited about where the work will go and how it will be produced.
In these ‘personal portraits’ (PP) felted fibres’ and yarns appear to cover parts of the face. In some of the portraits Mohair yarn, so soft and fluffy encroaches eyes and mouth; and you are left to wonder how something so beautiful can be so treacherous.
