Oolite Arts Open Exhibit at Walgreens Window: Asake – a conversation with self

Loni Johnson’s work has been centered on dealing with nurturing her inner self, the Little Loni, and using this process to address unsettling trauma that continues to resurface in her life. The word Asake translates from Yoruba to English as “a daughter picked or selected to be pampered and cherished”. This word reflects the inner work being done by the artist to confront and continue to heal from the past.
