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.

As my brother the philosopher put it in a text message this morning:

We did it & I believed almost completely that america didn't have it in her, but damn if we didn't do it. Now the work begins. Now everybody out & push!

It kinda feels like today should be a national holiday, but yes, I am going to work! And now, a list of things I won't be doing today, and the corresponding list of things some other folks shouldn't try today.
