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.


I counted twice just to make sure -- once like I was dealing cards, then once grouping them into five sets of five plus two.

So now all I have to do is scan them (or take pictures of the more 3-D ones), put them in a big plastic baggie, and ship them off with the shipping/handling cost for the organizer Bee Shay. It took me about a month, but mainly because I allowed for pauses when I didn't have time to art, or I felt like designing instead of assembling. You know what really helped? Doing two or sometimes three when I intended to do just one.
