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 it’s my duty to correct, contribute to and protect the archive, until today we are not included or misnamed culturally and geographically on maps and 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 misinformation, then Re-claiming, Re-embodying  and Re-membering who we are as practice.”
