"How does your art interact with the rich history of African portraiture? And how did your culture and heritage influence your aesthetic?
At its core Camo is about beauty, so there is a lot to learn about Kenyan beauty culture in the images. For example in the Kikuyu tribe, a gap between a woman’s front teeth is seen as exceedingly beautiful. A woman with a gap will fetch more dowry than one without a gap. My mother has this gap, which I always thought was beautiful. Kenyans are very resourceful people and one of the most common things I see is objects being used for more than their intended purpose. Plastic handheld mirrors are used not only to look at oneself, but also as side-mirrors on a bicycle weaving through traffic or even as decorative clothing accessories on a Maasai warrior! This inspired me to create fashionable accessories from the items found in almost every shop here. The objects I use in my work are items I interact with daily as a Kenyan. They were used all through my childhood and generations before me often interacted with them throughout their lives. Objects are an integral part of our daily lives and are often a big component of beauty culture. I’ve used bottle tops, plastic combs, sink drainers, hair rollers and even mosquito coils. The row of orange combs that sit daintily within the model's hair of Camo 2.0 4322, turn the simple item into a symbol of power. These plastic combs are humble everyday tools used by Kenyan women every morning in the process of preparing for the day. To every woman, hair is her crowning glory, making the combs of this image a symbolic celebration of the strength, shine and curl of African hair. It is a crown that empowers a woman; a height that she rules because she alone ultimately decides the impact and beauty of her coiffure."
