★ ECLIPSE Almanac page 29 ★

My current works mine what I term the Afro Sonic Signifier. Sound, music carries vast pertinent insight in trans - national African Diaspora narratives. Through research of histories, mythologies and cosmologies my eclectic oeuvre employs a plethora of epistemological materials such as guitar plectrums, police batons, drum sticks, burnt electric guitars, and vinyl records. My drawings and paintings perform on a binary platform as unfixed graphic scores. These works are often accompanied by self-composed sonic texts (sound-scapes): a form of sonic cartography to map out historical and fantastical Afro-futuristic Black Atlantic journeys - voyages from Slave Ship to Space Ship. Through research, narrative, imagination, myth and fantasy I persevere to contribute to the ongoing construction of a progressive all-inclusive Black cultural identity.
