CONTINUUM COLLECTION
The Continuum Collection defies linear time and space. Located within each piece are symbols loaded with ideas that I wanted to re-enforce as current sites of indigenous votive worship, not relics of the past, ones that are rooted in the African pantheon and living on a continuum.
As a Black artist, an Eritrean I feel it’s my duty to protect, amend and contribute to the archive, until today we are not included or misnamed culturally and geographically in authoritative institutions. I also want to re-inforce the body as a site of authority and knowledge transmission, theres so much memory encoded within that’s unbeknownst to us and longing to be activated - My art when adorned is a conduit for this, for Re-jecting lies, then Re-claiming, Re-embodying and Re-membering who we are as practice.”
