Work Philosophy

My subject matter always comes out of the various situations and experiences in the social contexts in which I live.

My current art practice includes painting, sculpting and installation art.  My work incorporate the concept of ‘bricolage’ where fragments from different written texts, raw materials, objects and painted surfaces are juxtaposed together giving a textured surface.  They also transcend the two dimensional aspect of painting. At present I use cloth, thread, lace and paper as raw material for my sculptures and installations.  My subject matter always comes out of various situations and experiences in the social context I lives in.  As such, my work reflects certain social and political issues relevant to the context of my living.  My work has evolved around the subjects of ‘domesticity, body, memory, history, post coloniality and urbanity ’.
