Message from Artist

I am deeply honoured to have been nominated of THE TOYOTA TSUSHO CFAO African Art Award. It means a great deal to have my work recognised within this context, and to be in dialogue with so many inspiring artists from across the continent. I’m very grateful for the platform the award creates, and for the opportunity to share my practice with wider audiences through the forthcoming exhibitions.
