These works are greatly informed by Ethiopian narratives, identity, and history. The visuals contain an encyclopedic range of information reassembled and stitched together to create a rich and complex visual landscape infused with my own personal memories and perspectives. the fragments are taken from archival photos, texts, stories, textile, and my own visual documentation. I am fascinated by the idea of the epigenetic inheritance, a memory that transfers over generations. I often feel that this work is a kind of map of that. I believe that I possess memories from my ancestors and those are revealed to me when creating a work. Significantly, it is less about creating series, its more about forming a visual ‘memory map’ that transcends the boundaries of a single canvas. I work on several paintings at one time, sometimes cutting a section from one painting and adding/stitching it to another. As such, the artworks are best viewed together, providing an immersive experience
