A celebration of the ancestors as the soil from which we grow.
Ancestral Mathematics: I Stand As 10,000, 2024. Earth and ochre pigments on wood, maple frame.
Inspired by a speech by Maya Angelou, the painting explores ancestors as the roots and soil from which we grow.
The two layers — the black square base and the floating circle above — explore what is planted and what grows. The square is made like an obi, the sacred house of the heart.
