Natasha Solange Burton – MA/MFA
My artwork is predominantly informed by African spirituality and mythology and celebrates African and African Diasporic cultures. It explores the effects of slavery, colonialism, imperialism and misogynoir on society. My identity as an African-Caribbean British woman is at the core of my practice. My artistic practice is a type of activism that highlights societal issues. Black politics and concerns are an ineffaceable part of my work. Pan-Africanism and Black womanism feed my artistic expression. I use found items and domestic items from home, such as toilet paper and string. I utilise techniques that are part of a rich African cultural and artistic identity, like bronze-making and ceramics, and I also use the technique of mould-making.
