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.


Libby-Libby-Libby's on the label-label-label...

Anyone else remember that old Libby's vegetables jingle? No? Well, all right then.Ta-da! Clever packaging for the notebooks. That was a Husband-directed Photoshop lesson. Tonight I'm going to post pictures for the Etsy shop. I might even beat Mija to the punch by getting the shop up and running before the new year!

And one last thing: remember when I painted the plastic rosary for the commission, and it wasn't turning out the shade of copper I wanted? Huh huh huh... wasn't paying enough attention to the label. I'd meant to use Interference Violet (Fine)... but I'd actually painted with Interference Oxide Violet. Whoops. Well, now I know which one to use when I'm going for "old penny" versus "old old old penny."

Merry Christmas to all.
