Relief
“Dikes works on wood panels that she turns into a mesmerizing panoply of relief designs and pattern, drawn from a wide array of cultures, Nigerian, African, Aboriginal and European. In the last decade or so, appropriation and sampling have been the central creative strategies favoured by Dike. Some of her relief panels which incorporate diverse elements-cowries, shells, coins, beads camel bone, etc standout as cathedrals to eclecticism, motific vignettes that accentuate the post modernist pre-occupation with exclusivity and de-centering”.
