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.


Art fair prep: bringing my best to Best of the Northwest

Art fair prep: bringing my best to Best of the Northwest

I'm putting the final touches on a few new pieces as I get ready for the October act of Best of the Northwest show.

Wait'll you see the full piece in person!

Trying something new for this show.

I need more clamps. Maybe an actual book press?

And by "trying something new" I mean "not making new work up until the last minute so I don't get stressed out." But as you know, the tasks expand to fit the time available (about 22 days -- eek). So I'm keeping myself busy tying up loose ends. Details you'll need to know:

DATES: October 24, 25 & 26 (Friday-Sunday)

TIMES: 10am-6pm Friday & Saturday, 10am-5pm Sunday

WHERE: Magnuson Park, Hangar 30

TICKETS:  Brown Paper Tickets (notice the special deal if you bring a friend!)

 

Just print the info out and bring it with you. Let me know you plan to attend; RSVP here. You'll see my work plus that of more than 100 other artists

And here's the kicker: your ticket to my show gets you in FREE for the next show November 14-16, where you'll see work from another 110 artists! Looking forward to seeing you...
