I am a Nigerian-born artist living and working in Atlanta, Georgia. I make large-scale drawings, paintings, and sculptures using charcoal, ink, and acrylic paint. My work centers the experience of migration: the physical act of moving between Nigeria and the United States, but also the constant negotiation of identity, language, and memory that comes after. My creative process is about the reduction and expansion of materials, which are often layered and scrapped away. I build up to take down, a process that mirrors how we construct and reconstruct identity. The surface becomes a record: thick, scarred, textured with the evidence of the impermanence of change. I often reference geometric patterns from African architecture, prominent social iconography, masquerade traditions, personal and familial history. These patterns structure the work and become figures, frames, and spatial divisions. Each piece is research, storytelling, and ritual compressed into one. I want those who experience my work to stop, to look closely, to feel the weight and scale of belonging, memory and place. My work doesn't resolve the tension of belonging, it holds it. I am interested in how art can act as a space for leisure, inquiry, and transformation.
