Three figures in patterned dress in a painted interior
New work Art Lab Studio, Vancouver

“…pattern becomes language: a weaving together of syntaxes from Addis Ababa, Rennes, Los Angeles, Vienna, and Vancouver. Figures inhabit interiors as mosaics: a striking and colourful visual grammar that echoes the historical textiles of Ethiopia through a modern cosmopolitan lens, translated entirely into paint.”
