Artist statement

As a topic-based artist, my interdisciplinary practice involves extensive research of overlooked historical objects, individuals, spaces and events of the Black Diaspora. My narratives explore and translate the actual and emotional dimensions of these subjects to draw the viewer in toward the piece and immerses them in a reorienting experience of images, words and ideas. My layering of visual elements create an experience that is unique and nuanced within the context of my prints, sculptures, drawings, or installations. With my work I am creating a platform that requires us to be both present and profound in our observations.
