Chrome is a long term project that explores urban neighborhoods around the world. The work began with Harlechromes, 2009; Addischromes, 2010, Dakarchromes, 2011 and Bostonchromes in 2013. The Notations are structured on walks of discovery in which colors and their attendant objects are collected. These colors are then translated into monochromatic fields to create - Social Abstractions - works comprising photography, sculpture and painted wall murals. These Social Abstractions envelop the formal arena while offering an ambivalent reflection on urban African spaces and their historical formation.
