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.


Work-in-progress: fragile

Good thing Easter is coming up, because I've got eggs on the brain. Thinking about how to use faux eggs in the next few pieces I make.

These eggs are already coated with chalkboard paint. Some of them I'm going to repaint, but I may leave one or two as-is to write something on them.

They're for a piece I'll show in a two-person exhibit this fall. We're exploring the idea of fragile barriers or containers, and eggs embody some points I'd like to make. I'm also collecting eggs online.

Who knows: I might even look for eggs and candy to put in the kids' Easter baskets. Is it too early to have them get their own?
