LOW END THEORY 🎧
Happy to be a part of an upcoming group exhibition at Camberwell College of Arts (5-24 Nov) exploring bass as more than sound.
Through painting, sculpture, sound, video and movement artists make the unseen energy of bass visible and felt, tracing its roots in black, queer and diasporic spaces where rhythm becomes a form of resistance, memory and joy.
Poster art: from my oil painting ‘Psalm
1: Reload It’
Curated by @alucubas and @m_arissaderrick

Happy to be participating in this exhibition of works by talented UAL Black staff, students, and alumni 🎓
Private View Oct 2nd 6pm, tickets via Eventbrite 🖤
'Speaking from the Margins' offers a platform for Black voices across the university to co-create, exhibit and engage in dialogue. It foregrounds work that reimagines the margins as sites of defiance and creative possibility.
The works on display explore themes of decolonisation, preservation, resistance and joy, highlighting the plurality of Black experience.
We invite viewers to consider how knowledge is created and shared, showing how the margins can become spaces of potential to reshape dominant discourses.

Inspired by early Christian art through thetriptych form and use of metal leaf, I wanted to experiment with how to commemorate and remember life through painting

I tend to have a song on repeat or make a playlist for each painting I do to help convey certain moods - this beautiful song I had on repeat for this painting
