ABOUT ARTIST

Sokari Douglas Camp was born in Buguma, Rivers State, Nigeria.  Sokari works intuitively and on her own, she draws ideas and works on the scale suggested by her drawings. She works with sheet steel and has recently started working with recycled  oil barrels. These barrels are all over the world and familiar . Oil is a big feature in Sokari’s work because she comes from the Niger Delta where oil is the main produce. Her place of birth is unsafe to return to because of bad governance and pollution.
