I''ll be honest I love her work and it's def' intimidating doing a piece on her because her work is so smart and precise
She was born in Adis Abeba and attended Cheikh Anta Diop of Dakar my hometown, yeahhh!
Her artistic process mix both drawing and painting, there's a difference btw the 2
One of her major themes is history of cities and people and how we react to our environment, over the years she has collected semi-abstract symbols determinating populations , as well as architectural plans , maps, plans that she breaks down in pieces and kinda play at reconstructing them .
Her pieces suggest movement in space,intensity of a city awakening, ect...
She's received a few awards along the way among them the American Art Award from the Whytney Museum.
