Ancestor as Muse
In an act of digital devotion, Evan Ifekoya has created a website as a tribute to Scottish artist Maud Sulter (1960-2008), showcasing her lasting legacy and impact. The site takes visitors on an intimate journey through materials from public collections and archives. It includes Ifekoya’s personal experience and reflections on how Sulter has inspired a new generation of artists. The website features uses narrated 'Letters to Maud', sound textures, and field and other sound recordings to explore lesser-known aspects of her work. Visitors can actively engage with the site through interactive features, allowing them to shape their own experience.
