Toni, Nina, Audre, 2020, 12”x14”, Watercolour and ink on paper
This series was created to accompany the work “Safe Home Sarah”. These three portraits were created to sit alongside the portrait of Sarah Baartman as a means of protecting and caring for her. These three portraits of Toni Morrison, Nina Simone, and audre lorde were made because I believe that all Black Folks before me are my ancestors. These portraits serve a dual purpose, the first is to protect Sarah Baartman, and the second, as an opportunity for me to connect with, or speak to this group of my ancestors.
