Collection: Where I come From

Through an amalgamation of the techniques of painting, printmaking, and weaving, Theresah creates bold, colourful works that reflect her origins and story. These paintings invite viewers to a visual re-discovery of colour, a reconsideration of gender norms, family, consumerism, and sustainability. Onion baskets merged and screened unto colourful canvases with thread stitched directly onto the centre of the canvas form an array of both visual and palpable designs. However, the designs transmit a deeper meaning despite their vibrant appearance. The series of paintings are aerial views of the Ghanaian urban landscape exposing its metropolitan system and questioning the city’s management.
