Currently, my practice investigates the possibility of form,and space and their relationship to my experience as a Black femme moving through the world. I center the historical, the social, and the temporal, always. In my paintings,sculpture, public work, and performance, I am interested in the
process of building. To me, building centers de-construction, and re-construction. I do this building process literally or metaphorically within my practice, and sometimes they occur simultaneously. I am interested in this process because it mirrors Black life, and the ways in which those in the Black diaspora rebuild their identities daily in order to re-frame pasts, presents, and futures that truly represent who they are.
