This lavender kimono raincoat is from NU and my glasses are from Auerbach & Steele. I'm quite large, which can be difficult, but I always try to be different and take inspiration from myself. The shoes I purchased on the internet with the sole purpose of matching my orange hair. I've dyed it every single colour under the sun; it's something that makes people smile and I really enjoy that.
The art: I've recently exhibited a collection of my own oil-based work in London, so I thought it would be both inspiring and interesting to see how contemporary art was being displayed here at Frieze.
The art: I create a lot of activism-based art inspired by my African roots, so I was curious to come to Frieze to see if I would fit in here as an artist. There seems to be a great diversity here, so the fear of not fitting in has definitely been eliminated.
The look: The studded leather jacket is my dad's from the 80s. He was in a punk band called Basement 5. The trousers are from the Santee Alley in LA and the bag is from a little independent shop I stumbled upon in the south of France. The boots were given to me by mum. She bought them in San Francisco before I was born.
