The Chronicles of a Visual Artist

During 'Outspoken' poetry evenings, talented poets, activists and musicians take to the stage take to the stage and present their work, while I got the opportunity to observe, listen and draw.

Drawing during performance art can add a dynamic quality to a piece of work. It loosens up the hand, mind and therefore, the marks made on the paper.

I did an inspiring visit to the British Museum yesterday to do some drawing of my favourite Egyptian sculptures. The sculptures are of the deity, Sekmet, the daughter of the sun-god Ra, a lion goddess, which means ‘the mighty one’. Made of Granodiorite, King Amenhotep III commissioned hundreds of statues of her.
