"To me the raw media such as earth, stones,
mud, dust, and plant matter suggest realities,
associations and experiences that could be
aligned with an innate awareness of belonging
to (African). I experience and claim the raw
material as acquaintance, family and as
belonging to me, and as representing the fabric
of my identity. The personal, psychological
and physical interaction with this particular
material environment is difficult to express
in words. It is an intuitive, sensuous yet also
intellectual process during which a collaborative
relationship of expression is entered into
between myself and the medium with the aim
to uncover the seductive ‘voice’ of the material
and to find the most appropriate form for the
material it can hold and convey"
