ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Videoart/1920*1072 /loop Dig-nificant Metamorph is a moving image piece that represents a notion in which 'this' dignified defiance is fueled by the state of '20 and the self-worth, courage, temperance, and injustice. This piece is an adage to the person(s) marginalized. Using photography, moving image, and sound which is interwoven to create the video art piece and also the use of self-photography came about from re-examing the image of Rosa Parks On The Bus and imaging her thoughts and action, using the clenched fists as the symbol to her comments in her autobiography, she thought "The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed, I suppose. I had decided that I would have to know, once and for all, what rights I had as a human being, and a citizen" Rosa Parks (February 4, 1913–October 24, 2005) This piece resonates in the year '20 and the life experienced as a black and the marginalized. The title of the artwork derives from the two words; Dignified and Significant. Dignified is regal in meaning when applied to someone "saying If you say that someone is dignified, you mean they are calm and deserve respect. While the significant definition is of importance or noticeable; esp. in leading to an important change. The artwork has latched onto these two definitions of the words, by responding to this systemic catalyst that exists within our community to forms of the marginalized. The question is that what is the meaning to respect one's dignity and the right to life? This dignified silence will eventually implode.

"As a multidisciplinary artist, exploring the creative nuance form relives a sense of capture within me” SGF Artist Statement Art and creativity always mesmerized me since I was young, the infinite mix and variations. I have not been courageous to pursue this vocation wholeheartedly. Now I am stepping into the other side of the glass as an artist. I live in London and received my Master’s in Design and Media Arts from the University of Westminster. I am a self-taught emerging multidisciplinary artist. My artistic preference is in photography, painting, video, moving images and dance on screen. All these are interwoven to explore the visual gesture and the narrative possibilities presented in a type of “galleria and creative nuance”. My earlier works are dance on-screen artist films, employing movement and dance, moving imagery as the protagonist. This correlates to space and presentation, defining the spatial boundaries with the fugitive body in a gesture which would relate well to the act of participating in spatial dance scenography. I started as a dancer but have always been fascinated with the dialogue between the visual nuance and the elusive pronounce in the artistic form. My videos have been screened and exhibited both nationally and on international platforms. My African identity and childhood memories stimulate my creative space. I draw influence from different artistic media and artists like Ben Enwonwu, Isaac Julien, Roy Lichtenstein, Basquiat, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Joan Miro, Young-Deok Seo etc. My art concentrates on the process with the visual narrative nuance by employing the available medium as a vessel to convey my story for each art piece.
