Still Life Video Installation, 2005 - 2007

Still Life: Sitting Down Textiles is one of four video paintings that use West African textiles in a sensual and, at times, unnerving physical performance by the artist to camera. The artist wraps, conceals and reveals her body, creating and controlling tensions within the fabric to provoke different emotional responses.

Commissioned by Chisenhale Gallery, London.
