IMPERNETRABLE ‘‘HERE’’
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper
The Malleable Like Clay Series by Divine Southgate-Smith, is a captivating exploration of artistry that draws inspiration from the ancient yet enduring legacy of West African traditions. This collection pays homage to The Bronze Head from Ife, an archaeological treasure excavated in 1938 in Ife, Nigeria. The series ingeniously incorporates the distinctive facial scarifications used by the Ife sculptors as symbols of nobility and significance. The Malleable Like Clay Series is a testament to the enduring influence of history and the boundless potential of artistic innovation.
