Ije (eejay): A British/Nigerian artist-healer.
I have a nomadic art practice using painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and words to express a sensuous exploration of metaphysical and material realities. Despite challenges I am physically engaged in encounters with landscape, the elements, and my making.

My sensuous practice draws on a lifetime of moving. Moving across the UK and beyond exploring landscapes, from wild spaces of mountains and coastlines, to mining and farming communities to industrial towns and cities. Moving through, exploring energy transference, rhythms of time and smooth spaces. Photographs, video and audio recordings initially capture glimpses of these, leading on to artworks that are energetic and textured with inclusions of found/repurposed/manufactured materials reflecting the feelings, political resonance, and sensuousness of my encounters.

I am a prolific maker, working across several lines of enquiry concurrently; predominantly self-taught, I have a Masters Degree in Fine Art, and am an active Outside In artist and Ambassador.
