Sometimes I wonder if normal humans can survive my life
To know me is to know am far from normal & here’s why…

Some days I wake up & let the world wait bc this is my 1 & only life so I’ll live it on my own terms, often I don’t even touch my phone for the first half of the day.
I eat my veg, sip on tea & just exist in my own rhythm, out in nature with my own thoughts percolating ideas for iconic art! That’s where the peace is. 🧘🏼‍♀️ 🌴

Then there’s days that I go full glam makeup wearing my finest fashion just because I can, music almost as loud as the speaker will go while I dance around my abode that smells like a boutique in Paris the way my fragrance is lingering all over ✨ 💄 💃🏼

Life as a chaotically creative Aquarian babe is messy, beautiful, & rewarding all at once in both dualities & I love every part of it NGL

Do you do slow mornings, skip straight to the chaos or like me go where the day takes you?

The dress I’ll bury my mum in is the same one you see me wearing here.
💙
Please, let that sit with you for a moment…

While my world suddenly narrowed down to a hospital corridor & machines kept Mum alive, art found me again reminding me that art can still hold me when I need it most 🫂

My day 1 friend literally pulled me from the wreckage of grief into the

And there was the divine synchronicity, the headline exhibition being by who’s a Ghanaian 🇬🇭 / Uk 🇬🇧 photographer who captures what I’ve always believed deeply, that being seen in your full humanity, in all your difference & beauty, is THE REVOLUTION!

This is why I focus on makeup for melanin.

This is why diversity isn’t just important it’s survival.
Its dignity uniting in love made visible.
Allowing me to work towards a world where everyone feels seen too 🤎

The synchronicity feels too precise to be random ✨

This is what is known as a Rite Of Passage (look it up) 🌌

This is Addy’s 1st solo exhibition named “I Love Campbell”.
It’s photography that bleeds into painting, film & sculpture that landed HERE in my tiny Australian hometown region just as I been preparing to say goodbye to my Best Mate, My Mama & fully relocate to Ghana, that’s not coincidence - grateful for her blessing to go 💄

Sometimes the universe speaks in whispers; but this time it shouted through an art gallery in a lil gold mining town!

I stood there in this blue dress which has healing & heartache weft through its stitches, wearing this Great Granny 100yo old hat surrounded by bold storytelling that felt like coming home to a place I’ve learned I truly belong 🫶🏼

For the first time in months the ache in my chest made space for something else, art as a form or recognition & solidarity.
God as my witness & art as my anchor. ⚓️ 🖼️

I have maximum deep gratitude for true friends, hands that opened again to keep creating & appreciation for BOLD Art & being deeply rooted in my Life’s Purpose of uniting the world 🌍 🗺️ 🌎💄
