Siphiwe-Nokukhanya Mnguni’s practice navigates the notion of identity whilst exploring the iconography of the black female nude in relation to her own body. Challenging traditional representations of the figure in western art history, Siphiwe’s work is also informed by subconscious thought and her own experiences as a young British Zimbabwean woman living in south east London. Drawing from life is intrinsic to Siphiwe’s work; her images seem to hover between abstraction and figuration. ‘I take photos of myself in weird positions, draw my reflection in the mirror, or ask friends to sit for me on FaceTime. Then, the work transforms itself in the moment – it’s not pre-planned’. Siphiwe often combines oil pastel with collage which, she says, ‘has a tactile and playful quality that takes me back to my childhood’. The resulting pictures evoke dancing creatures that seem to shimmy on the page, their limbs suggesting exploratory arial maps of the body.
