Yes! I, too see character and emotion in the faces and body language. Such talent! I see comparatives in the work of American textile artist, Bisa Butler. She also uses African textiles for her figures. Both women give such life to their subjects.

Bold, creative and a truly original use of collated mixed media on such an impressive scale! In many ways has the colour sense and feel of Lubaina Himid’s work.

The compositions, too, reveal an exceptional artistic / creative talent and levels of patience which, sadly, I can only dream of. The little girl in “Fifth Generation” is so expressive as she gazes up at the globe.
Inspirational.
