Souvenir #1 Slavery is new to us

Slavery is new to us

가끔 우리집에 있는 닭 한마리가 낮게 매달린 잘익은 옥수수를 쪼아 먹곤 했는데

all over inspired this sky

We ate lightly toasted sunflower seeds as a snack in the winter and added them to our food

they put their lives on the line without fear

Souvenir #1 Slavery is new to usassemblage and acrylic on canvas 45 X 69 in "I went on a trip to Mali this is one of the series I did based on that trip. The colours in this piece are an inspiration based on the colours I saw in Mali. It has souvenirs of my dad in it. Some of these things are papers that came out of his wallet after he died. It is very personal to me. Its not sad, it is small reminders of the fact that he lived. These pieces are the beginning of my work in collage."
