I am a visual artist working in collage, assemblage sculpture and altered books. My practice explores identity, memory and the history of the African diaspora. Vintage and contemporary images collide to convey how the past informs the present.


A funny thing happened on the way to DC

A funny thing happened on the way to DC

I’m gonna need Inauguration Day to get here sooner rather than later. When I look back at the end of 2020/ beginning of 2021, I don’t want to think of it as the series finale of America. I want to remember this period as a time of career milestones.

I thought debuting “The Home Inside My Head” well after Election Day would keep it from being buried by political news, but nooo… election coverage is still going strong. Fortunately, I also received a fantastic Christmas gift: a positive review of my work in the Washington Post!

So yeah, I was a little sad to close my first solo show at Morton Fine Art— but also relieved, because it ended just before the post-election insurrection at the US Capitol Building.

We’re entering the second week of 2021. Why is 2020 trying to hold on like a piece of toilet paper to a shoe?
