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.


Thank you, Laurel!

Laurel, aka Rueschka, sent me a lil' thank you for turning her on to Google Reader. She'd been looking for an easier-to-use RSS feed reader that would send her the latest posts from her favorite blogs. So I threw in my two cents, and voila.

It's a little hard to see even in person, but she stamped a beautiful sun on the patterned paper.
I'm not exactly an early adopter of technology, but I caved and took The Husband's suggestion to try Google Reader. It was like the first time you surf the internets on your own. Whee!
Look at all the pretties Laurel sent. Including a charm with my favorite mermaid on it.
This may be the one time I gave advice and was rewarded for it.

Tagged? I don't see anything on my big toe

Let's just nip that in the bud.
