Kwame, Generational Memories. Oil, graphite and image transfers on canvas “Kwame” is a portrait of my Father as a child growing up in Burma Camp, Accra. This piece was one of the starting points for a series of work exploring the impact of Transcultural and African Diasporic experiences and how this is felt through the different generations of family. Many of my earliest experiences of Ghana came through my fathers stories of his childhood along with our family photo albums. This work is intended work as a form of memory, crossing over the different generations and time periods. embedded within my Fathers clothing are photos of his parents and siblings, taken almost 60 years ago. Whilst the leaves to his side contain images of my Fathers future life and family in the UK. This blend of generations, places, timelines and cultures was how I first experienced Ghana as a child.
