About The Artwork
As a self-taught artist, I'm currently experimenting with working in uli/uri art style, which is an art form of the Igbo people of South Eastern Nigeria. Uli art is body/wall art style mainly used as a form of expression by women of the community. The Igbo believe that creativity is bestowed mainly on women by Ala, the goddess of earth and creation. Being Igbo myself, I'm very interested in finding a contemporary way of continuing to push forward the designs and the stories embedded in them by the women who came before me. Some of the designs used in this piece were taught to me by my mother, who also learned them from her own mother. This piece combines my love for floral designs and uli symbols.

Nigeria
I'm a writer and artist living in Lagos, Nigeria. I paint to fill the spaces between what we know and what we can only imagine. As a person living with a chronic condition (Fibromyalgia), painting is a release and a necessity, at the same time an obstacle to navigate in the spaces my body becomes present in. I'm fascinated by patterns and the way they fit into our everyday lives and the essence they imbue into life. I love the energies that colours and paint carry, and how our bodies receive and internalize such, both good and bad. To speak to the things my body can do, and expand what it can't. As a woman and a feminist, I love to explore how everything around us have been used as a cloak, in wrapping women in processes that are harmful to us, just to prop up a system built to subdue and destroy us. I want to keep pushing those spaces and their effects on us and everything around us.
