“Burden of Proof” highlights the mixed-media art of Japheth Asiedu-Kwarteng, an artist based in Edinburg, Texas, who is on the faculty of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Art and Design.
Asiedu-Kwarteng, who primarily works in ceramics, is largely inspired by traditional Ghanaian symbolism. For this exhibition, he exhibits an artwork including over 140 elements from his personal use of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services website as an immigrant himself. The installation includes mixed-media ceramic sculptures that incorporate Kente design.
