Davies Musau / DAVIEY

I am Davies Musau Mutuku. DAVIEY is the artist. Kings Forge is the studio. The work moves through music, film, writing, images, objects and systems, but the questions tend to find one another.

I keep returning to the underdog, the cost of fitting in, the absurdities we call normal, and the possibility of making a life that feels like your own. Humour, research, empathy and a certain amount of unreasonable ambition help.

The records belong to a growing world alongside A Decent Chance and A Chance of Rage. Fateci Caso carries the essays and questions. An Utter Waste of Time holds the early poetry. Domestic Propaganda puts observations into public circulation as notices, prints and objects.

Through Kings Forge, founded in 2019, I work with people and organisations on identities, digital experiences and useful technology. The practical work enables the artistic life. Art is the reason for the whole arrangement.

Made in Nairobi. Still becoming.
