Being Differently Black

Difference has always been an interest of mine – the different gestures, methods and materials utilised by various post-colonial artists to question authorial identity and to “speak”. In my art practice these ideas are interrogated in relation to the question “What difference does it make who is speaking?”. This question is intended to expose the invisible mechanism of power that exists within authorship, raising questions such as who determines who gets to speak, how they speak, what is spoken about and who speaks on behalf of whom.
