High as Pink, Low as Blue, 2023 Artwork

I am a Contemporary Ghanaian Textile artist based in Accra. I am a self driven creative who considers himself fluid in his practice, constantly working to evolve and push the boundaries of what I do. I work primarily with Upcycled Textile waste incorporating painting and sculpture as form of transitional framework for my material to verbalise what is trapped inside of it. I feel sometimes the vision of the soul dictates the structure, defence or vulnerability of the work and in other times I have to steward the vision. I am just a steward of the visions of my soul. I can guide it with my hands but I cannot control what it wants to say. Freedom is essential to my soul as breath is to my life and I try as much as possible to articulate that in the context of my practice and beyond. I could never tell if any of my projects were and are successful because I feel the moment you label something, it only exists in the boundary you've given it. You do not have to understand what I create or even try to give meaning to it because if it's visual language strikes you, then I must be saying something that your soul recognises but your mind hasn't quite grasped yet. I feel sometimes the vision of the soul dictates the structure, defence or vulnerability of the work and in other times I have to steward the vision. I am just a steward of the visions of my soul. The day I become truly free is the day my hands will be in control. It's the day I can truly describe what I create.
