British-Nigerian artist Ranti Bam was raised across two continents, clay has become a way for her to give cohesive form to her multiplicities and thereby fully inhabit the material and spiritual culture of both worlds.

A ferocious reader, Bam is inspired by a passion of etymology and metaphors. The multiple dyads of the symbolic vessel continues to be of significance. Fusing painting, sculpture and performance, Bam explores the literal and the metaphorical; inside and outside, abstraction and figuration, light and the dark, and spirit and form.
