Taiye Idahor was born in 1984 in Lagos, Nigeria, where she currently lives and works. Idahor works in collage, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media. In 2007, she graduated from the Yaba College of Technology in Lagos with a Fine Arts diploma, specialising in sculpture. Her focus on hair speaks of a connection with family, lineage and ancestry. Through the surreal imagery employed, Idahor allows for regeneration and self-identification.
