All Eyes On: Chibuike Ifedilichukwu

Through the process of scavenging waste, I interpret the message of physical environmental social consciousness, with my mixed media, installation and performing arts it embodies natural colours, textures and forms. My goal is to build human equilibrium ecology; voice to dumb, eye to blind, ear to deaf with objects like bottles, metals, aluminium and plastics. The sanitization of materials give it liberated hygienic autonomy which human needs to take caution. Mat is meant for sleep but I create mat for art through the mat formula of interlacing weft and warp followed with stitching, which bonds the aluminium and plastic as an inseparable covenant between human and global existence without inflicting pain to human environment or its inhabitants. And the watered piece glow sun in day, moon in night for balanced circle.

The artistic representation and value embedded in my creative process seeks to inform an inquisitive present human race of the endless possibilities that wastes can profer, it’s more like seeing through a transparent glass but more closely redefined in ways and creative thoughts unseen before. I bask in the fulfilment of intermediate achievable success after transforming waste into awe breathing art pieces which in turn reignites my passion and fuels my quest towards changing the status quo with wastes.
