Bird of paradise reaching past bromeliad. The deep greens of Accra pressed up against the muted sage of a Chicago backyard, inherited and chosen, all of it growing together in the same frame because that is the truth of a layered life.
The garden has always been a character in this story. A living, breathing self-portrait, pieced together the way a quilt is pieced together, the way a life is: from what you've grown, where you've been, and who loved you into becoming.
This work carries three years of living between Ghana and home. And underneath all of it, the quiet hands of my Black maternal quiltmaking foremothers, of the African diaspora who knew long before us that to stitch disparate things together with intention is the highest form of art.
Limited Edition of 10. Signed and Numbered.
24x24”
Giclee print, on archival paper with a matte finish that produces rich and saturated colours, using archival pigment inks, designed to last for years without losing its original beauty.
