我
My work is a form of archaeology, digging up forgotten stories.
I am drawn to the fragmented, the incomplete, the unresolved.
I want my art to be a scream, a cry, a shout.
My work is about giving voice to the voiceless.
I use text and image together because words alone are not enough.
I am interested in the margins, in those who have been excluded from history.
I wanted to make art that was not just beautiful but had a message.
We must resist the temptation to make African art merely illustrative of theory.
To be African is to be modern - this is the central paradox we must embrace.
My work is not about the Holocaust, it's about the human condition.
I don't make art about death, I make art about life.
I am not interested in the unique, but in the banal.
Protect me from what I want.
I don’t know what art is, but I know what it does.
The more uncertain I am, the more I feel the need to paint.
I am not trying to imitate a photograph; I am trying to make one.
I don’t create utopias; I make what is possible.
I don’t know what I want. I am inconsistent, non-committal, passive; I like the indefinite, the boundless, and I like continual uncertainty.
The only thing I can do is paint, and that’s enough for me.
The only thing I can rely on is my own uncertainty.
