ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is about my own cultural past as a Ghanaian and the complexities of a post colonial state of mind.

My process is an ongoing exploration of identity and redefining how I see the world around me. The images

i construct stem from various influences such as African proverbs, religion, esoteric writings, found photographs, etc.

All these elements are used to construct my own personal mythology. The content of my work borders between

private conscience and public responsibility. A world that seems familiar yet intangible, this world is condensed

and given form through the nonlinear narratives I portray.
