I made a lion

Part I - l'océan comme méthode This past week, I took part in a workshop at the Beaux-arts School in Saint Naizaire, with the artist Elvia Teotski, whose work is really inspiring! It was part of a larger project L'Océane Comme Méthode. And this week I made an unwearable coat from a secondhand blanket. Instead of cutting the blanket, I used hand stitching to form the coat shape and the organic texture. Cette semaine, j’ai participé à un workshop à l’école des Beaux-Arts de Saint-Nazaire avec Elvia Teotski, l’artiste qui m’inspire. C’était dans le cadre du projet L’Océan comme méthode. Pendant cette semaine, j’ai fabriqué un manteau importable à partir d’une couverture de seconde main. Au lieu de couper la couverture, j’ai utilisé des coutures faites à la main pour donner forme au manteau et créer une texture organique.

Merry merry Christmas everyone. Let's fly into this new year and make it the best one yet❤️

Spent my birthday in Rome, fanboying over the Berninis.

I turn 40 next week. Hahah Merci @dels.artworld pour les photos🤗

What ghosts hide in empty display cases? Who will remember us? The World Premiere and Season Opening production REPARATION NATION @reparationnationafrica by @jessicanupen , Hamburg choreographer with South African roots, is a dance theater production that deals with the empty spaces on the African continent created by the looting of cultural assets. In an explosive performance of dance, opera, visual art, live soundscapes and polyrhythmic beats, a space is created in which existing rules of ownership, hierarchies, value and future visions are redefined. The current narrative is shifted towards the Global South and the objects voice their sentiments. REPARATION NATION is a production choreographed and performed by and with artists and dancers from Senegal, Namibia, Cameroon, South Africa, Ghana, Sri Lankan diaspora in Berlin and the African diaspora in Hamburg.

Having a game of thrones moment😅

Another work from this past year at art school. I volunteer at a food distribution centre for students and I've been collecting the plastic woven sacks to patch work together. Starting to explore migration in a globalised post-colonial society.

At school we were given a brief titled <<Le Repas>> The Meal. And I decided to make a food gedrog. Thanks to @parkhankyul who "dressed" me and @j.e.s.s.donaldson who took these awesome photos.
