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.


Genius. Genius, I tell you

The Boy is showing an interest in "reading" on his own, and he seems to have an inkling on counting things (especially the number of M&Ms that we occasionally dole out). So we started him in a phonics class and then a math class at day care last week, and apparently he's really enjoying himself. Nothing hard-core: the kids his age only do 20 minutes a day in these optional classes, which is about the length of any other activity they do.
My favorite comment on his progress: "He also enjoyed writing in his journal!"

I'm kvelling!

Oh. My. God.
