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.


More spelling mysteries resolved

This one's in honor of my TX darlin' Jan, who got a hoot out of my earlier spelling-related bitchiness. Here's hoping it speeds her recovery from that nightmarish illness.

STATIONERY: Letter-writing paper... you know, the stuff you use when you're out of cell phone range and you have no access to email. STATIONARY: Standing still, as in "a stationary object."

And a few bonus corrections:

CEMETERY: Not "cemetary" or "cematery" or "cematery." There is no "a" in that word.

MISCHIEVOUS: Not "mischievious." Two, not three "i's." And the emphasis is on the first syllable (MISS-cheh-vuss), not the second, in the same way you would say "mischief" (MISS-chiff).

That is all. Go forth and continue to vocalize properly.

My heart goes out to them

Not ready for prime time
