Solo Exhibition
Jules Maeght Gallery - 2019
San Francisco, California in early 2019. Entitled "Beyond Words" the show is best defined by the artist himself:
"Beyond Words is the realm of the heartfelt, the unspoken, the not yet written, the realm of colours only to be described with eyes closed. Beyond Words is the flow of the river of thought, Water into Words: a reflection upon walking our Human path regardless of the passing of time. Sparked by a luminescence my hand draws a line , a line on my path drawn with fire-molten metal, In an ongoing process of building my bridge and crossing it Beyond words." MB Jan.2019

work at the foundry
Pouring molten metal into a given shape has been a sculptors media for centuries. My attachment to the ancestral method remains palpable in my foundry in Marrakesh where all the work is still manual and true to the methods black slaves brought to Morocco from Burkina Faso. Creating my cast objects like fossils is a discovery for myself every time. Marrakech 2015

a large part of my work (be it drawing, painting or photography or writing) is made in situ, mainly in the Moroccan desert on my overland trips through the Sahara
