Patricia Edwine-Poku is an abstract artist currently based in Washington, DC. Her paintings and sculptures create a visual language of elements and the spirit realm to understand time and space. She has an interest in the connections that lie between elements, energy, humans, ancestry, and spirituality, all based on her Ghanaian roots.
Edwine-Poku takes advantage of the performative nature of paint and collected natural materials, and their ability to be molded to create new forms to imitate elements in nature. She uses this visual language as a means of documenting verbal storytelling with the use of color and mark-making to illustrate these intangible ideas about the world and the cosmos, extended from our narrow view.
