My early work was greatly influenced by the aesthetic quality and strength of African Masks. I love the simplicity of masks especially from West Africa namely Ghana. Masks serve an important role in rituals and ceremonies. Perceived as a vital connection to our ancestors, masks aid in celebrations of death, harvest and marriage and births.
