statement
Working in various mediums including drawing/painting, collage, sculpture and installation, my work is intentionally imbued with historical content that is accessed and communicated through the collective memory of culture and imagination of the future. This is rooted in observing ritual, performance based in the exchange of experiences and narratives, acknowledging the ancestry of religion and mysticism across the global African Diaspora, and weighing and acknowledging the constant tension between joy and grief. This part of the work has a specific focus on my connection to the South via my familial connection to East Texas. It also seeks to interrogate the combined existence of the natural world with our created systems of society. Through the work I hope to venerate the past, extended into the forgotten history of many generations before me and present alternate views of a future yet to happen.
