The Making Of Becoming
---------
The Making Of Becoming presents a diverse selection of artists by curator Kezia Ouomoye Owusu-Ankomah. The participating artists have a focus and direction in expanding ways of working within conventional moulds yet subtly innovating, risk-taking, engaging, questioning and re-imagining artistic forms.
The exhibition looks closely at unique ways of expression through medium and subject matter. Veronica Amegatse enters the digital world of creativity with a Wacom board and a pen, composing textile patterns and visual descriptions to a desired effect or outlook. Purity Mutua’s calligraphy consists of neat lines, which she fashions into letters and images. Afimaa Amiteye blurs the lines between representation and immaterial imagery through her pale or white figures. Moreover, Paul Lesley’s digital paintings investigate how space can alter an individual’s perception.
The Making of Becoming visually communicates and unpacks experiences and reveals perspectives of individual and collective circumstances. This provides a powerful vehicle that unifies the participating artists and viewers, a deeply considered shared sense of reality that helps us feel connected and make sense of the world.
