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.


Soooo pretty

I had forgotten how much I luh-huh-huhv pretty paper. (And how the hell did that happen?)
I like pretty with my grunge. I can appreciate cute, but I prefer frayed edges and smudginess. Even pretend-smudgy is better than undiluted pretty.
I'm probably going to use some of this in a companion piece to "The Plumber's Jealousy." 
But it's going to take a while; what I want to do is complex and the rest of my life keeps intruding into my worktime.
More soon.
