I Embrace Change by Komikka Patton, 2023, mixed media collage, paper, gouache, acrylic, spray paint, and India ink, 30in x 30in.
The Art of Death. The moment in which we accept that things will never be the same and move into that newness with and in excitement. Even with limited vision. Not having the ability to see the complete picture or the future. But faith in self and beyond being a guide and encouragement to step into the unknown. Here, an Ethiopian woman stands in surrender and acknowledges that beliefs and practices touch on and inform every facet of human life. It is here that we notice the grandiosity of the mundane. African Spirituality has always been able to adapt to change and allow itself to absorb the wisdom and views of more than what meets the eye. Wrapped in the rapture of communicating with the divine, the woman sets her sights on the infinite possibility of what is coming. With many hands outstretched, she is ready and willing to receive. Where brown meets black and white, and the inner workings are exposed to meet the unknown.
Komikka Patton is a peripatetic 2D multimedia artist. Patton uses ink, paper, and collage to create works centrally based on the African Diasporan human condition, her large paper installations and collages touch futurism, transhumanism, mythology, and storytelling. Her work investigates stories; they disassemble and reassemble time, matter, space, and perspective, coupling fragments of thoughts, memories, and associations; with folklore, mysticism, and the metaphysical. Patton has featured works in the World Trade Center and Hyperallergic. She is the recipient of the Darryl Chappell Foundation Grant, NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Finalist, and the May and Samuel Rudin Foundation Scholarship. Patton obtained her BFA in Fine Arts from Columbus College of Art & Design and an MFA from New York University.
