“Yomma's Toub" Mother’s Dress
“Yomma’s Toub”
Originally formed by chance on a drop-cloth palette evolved from an unintended work into a deeply personal composition. The pleated brown paper absorbed layers of bold, flowing paint—creating a vibrant effect akin to woven fabric.
I later separated the ‘painting’ into two panels; the pair remain visually and emotionally linked by their palette and origin.
The name, “Yomma’s Toub” meaning 'Mother’s Dress' in Sudanese Arabic, was inspired by the resemblance to the colorful toubs worn by women in Northeast Africa. This artwork stands as a tribute to a cultural memory, transformation, and the beauty found in accidents.
