Overview

the presence of the artist’s body against the sublime Devon landscape throws into question ideas of “deep” England and what it means to claim ownership of the rural. Appliqued, paper banners, documented via 8mm film, act as key motifs in the film inspired by the visual and material structure of the Fante Asafo war flags of coastal Ghana, which the artist’s ancestors fabricated in resistance to British colonial rule.
