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.


Ideas and supplies

Yeah, it's just a glass in a cigar box now. But it's part of the idea stew that's bubbling in my head for the next assemblage. Actually, ideas for my next two assemblages. Aaarrghh...  I do not have the brain capacity AND time for this! [impatient huff] What, I should write the ideas down for each piece as I go? Well, that's just crazy talk. Meanwhile...
... scores for Clarissa Callesen's class at Artfest! Doll chair from Goodwill (which clearly needs a bit of weathering. Too shiny!). Stripey fabric on a clearance table at Pacific Fabrics. I so hope this'll work for the steampunk dolls we'll make.

So many ideas!
