Asante sana. featured work of the month "Coming home from market" Tesano-Ghana, West Afrika gelatin silver print eyes in ghana a photodocumentary on Ghanian life Eyes in Ghana. It is Ikemefuna's eyes that have seen the unique dance between the modern and traditional worlds of comtemporary life in Ghana, West Afrika. We see the two intertwined in each others language, body, mind and spirit. The photographs through which Ikemefuna recites his visual poetry are like paintings. Compositions boldly fill the camera lens as the truth and innocence of the black and white photography provide the timeless images that Ikemefuna captures. Eyes in Ghana shows daily life, cooking, choping wood, catching a tro-tro, carrying goods, buying at the market, and as we see in our featured image, coming from the market. Eyes in Ghana is a work in progress. Ikemefuna travels to Ghana regularly to see family and friends and to take time to reconnect with his ancestral motherland. Eyes in Ghana will be exhibited in local Baltimore venues in March 2000. For inquiries, please contact the artist: kofinut@hotmail.com Medase!
