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.


It's probably not Art, but...

I wonder if art-making will survive a Bravo reality show.

On June 9th, Bravo premieres a competition called "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist." Here's what I'm expecting: attractive and/or interesting-looking people stabbing each other in the back for a few months, only to be forgotten three weeks after winning the competition. No, wait -- the winner makes the rounds as a D-list celeb for a year too.

No, I'm not cynical. Why do you ask?

Certainly they're not going to find the next Andy Warhol -- wait, this would be perfect for the next Andy Warhol! -- but I bet they get a lot of people who think they're the next Julian Schnabel. Let's meet back here on June 10th and snark, shall we?

How did that happen?

Take a big bite out of something small!
