| ARTIST STATEMENT: | - | |
|
For the past year I have been working on a series of staged self
portraits, which I have so far title ‘The Blonde’. My work deals with the concept of beauty and identity and culture on one level. However, on another deeper level my work touches on the physiological impact of slavery,‘(The post traumatic slave syndrome)’ colonialism and the effects that it has had on black women in particular and the need to assimilation in the western way of looking and seeing. |
