pronounced Dee K
SEE ME I AM DIKE (WARRIOR) - it is in my DNA, my scars bear witness to my strength and resilience; this is who I am / have been / will be.
I am strong, I can fight for the good of others, healing light cauterizing wounds of history; my body has changed through multiple incarnations, my internal shades have amplified and multiplied, my soul has remained intact; the surface skin is inconsequential - I release my colours into the world and my light shines bright.
I RELEASE MY COLOURS series: paintings/writings/sculptures exploring ideas of identity, ancestry and sensuous encounters. These works contain ruptures and imperfections giving access through the layers and creating new spaces. Disruptions create a shift, cause movement, force innovation. I release my colours, I SHOUT MY NAME #sensuouspractice
