About this artwork
Kauri Head is the first in a mini-series of paintings by Jay Golding portraying children from the Dan tribe in The Ivory Coast and Liberia. Using objects such as cowrie shells, paper towels, and embroidery thread, the artist creates vivid textures within his acrylic painted depiction of this West African indigenous group.

He employs tactile collage elements and vibrant palettes to evoke mythology, migration, and interconnectedness, creating layers both literal and symbolic. His artwork is an intense dialogue of identity, steeped in the richness of diasporic experiences, emanating a complex emotionality that seeks to connect the past and present.
