A couple of weeks ago I went to the village to visit my family.
As usual my grandmother wouldn't sit down and went along with her routine, preparing maize for ugali flour, so as usual I took lots of pictures!

THE GOAT SOCIAL CLUB

27/5/2018

Comments

 
On Saturday my sister and I attended the first of Fitsum Berhe's free art classes at 'THE GOAT SOCIAL CLUB'.
I instantly fell in love with the space, so much to look at and such a relaxing environment.  The combination of fresh coffee and beautiful art is like no other.
If you're looking for someone funky and fresh in Nairobi then The Goat Social Club is most definitely the place to be.

ANOTHER TRIP DOWN MAGADI ROAD

3/5/2018

Comments

 
Last week a couple of my friends and I took off down Magadi road to visit my Masai friends.

I was delights to see the amount of rain that they're having and could barely recognise the landscape, it has been transformed.  The grass has shot up creating a beautiful green carpet dotted with beautiful white flowers.

My friends have been planting and are flurishing.

It still amazes me how easy it is to get so wrapped up in daily life and superficial things.  Visiting this village always brings me back to basics.  The simple joy and happiness at a little rain is absolutely beautiful.  
​
Count your blessings.

For anyone who knows me relatively well will know that I can't stop talking about how much I love Jacaranda trees!

I've decided to do a little project called 'Where the Jacaranda falls'.  

​Send me your favourite images of where the flowers have fallen and I will add them to my collage which will be featured here on my website!

In the meantime, here are some of this seasons beautiful Jacaranda's along Ngong Road.

A TEACHER'S LOST PROPERTY

2/11/2015

Comments

 
Poetry by Carlo Saio
Picture
Barefoot soul, sketched
through chicken wire lenses

floats in spaces criss-cross
vexing her body, 
as the pixel splattered 
frey of her borderless image

stirs shy dust with the pulse 
undulating earth into the clover 
clouds she palm pockets, above 
the valley's tread of herself,

where they peer at her, behind 
the stare she has learned not see,
she falls under night, green
glowing larval markings 
defend her mapped moist wings 

Picture
and she hatches a face 
with the dark's parasitic grains,
crests a butterfly in the waves 
her wingwind orchestrates

surging in dream

she sees them playing, 
begging to invent the infinite
incapacity of her world, 

and so, the unconscious stirring
stippling her shadow,
grows 
the more
it's light is hidden

Barefoot soul, live
in the art the word 
has taught us to forget ​

FEAR MONGERING CLOUDS

22/10/2015

Comments

 
It's been a while since our last collaboration but we're back, wonderful words by Carlo Saio.
Picture
I can hear a child

​-


out of the anaemic silence

of the sun’s warp, daydreaming
in the dark Classroom’s depth

-


a child,

begot and beaten into learning
how to live behind the blood’s
bottled confusion of skin,

-

The endless conflict

of a porous bruise,

Picture
-

​leaking into morning’s ritual

of Mamas laying out makaa

-


out of the fire of yesterday,


-


Hens cluck songs from fear

and men hear the struck screams
of themselves, distantly-

-


in the choral playground of today’s

concealed imitation of tomorrow,

Picture
-

​games are stone scratched

on the sands of the moon, blind
folded hopscotch frames
in which to resolve

-

But tell me when, when
does one ever grow up?

-

to become perfectly chiral
to the prism jar, glassed
in the existence
of a hemorrhagic past?
