Over the last five years my work has been concerned with my birthplace. A once utopic country now ruined by a dictatorship. The frustration of watching the Zimbabwean people suffer at the hands of a corrupt government, families being torn apart & millions unable to go back home, is at the heart of my 'Zimbabwe Series'.
My current work explores this and further related issues of identity. In this instance identity encompasses belonging, displacement, shifting cultures and values; the growing worldwide phenomenon of Diaspora and refugees. As a white British woman identifying more with my African birthplace, my artwork reflects loss, movement and readjustment.
Through the use of natural materials and maps, I seek to merge geographical and cultural values to produce trajectories of cultures, mixed belongings and identities.
