Artwork and research material in Black table top vitrine with steel legs. Exploring my relationship with Nigeria - its history, present and myths through visual culture is an ancestral practice for me. This project brings together for the first time an ongoing body of work, a search for an African Futurism. This work engages with themes of identity and cultural heritage, drawing on Nigerian, and specifically Yorùbá symbols, such as bronze masks and calabash.
