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.


NAAM exhibit: calendar filling up

Have you checked my Facebook page recently? February is filling up fast.

Remember the collage workshop I'm teaching at the Northwest African American Museum? It's next weekend, February 4th. Sign up here. You bring your photos, I'll bring (part of) my collage paper stash.

And later that month, I'm hoping you'll join me for an artist talk with photographer Intisar Abioto of The Black Portlanders.

Among other things, we're interested in what inclusion means in the Northwest for people of African descent. We'll also discuss how that inclusion (or lack thereof) impacts our respective art practices. Let us know you're coming; RSVP here and bring a friend!
