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.


So close!

I just cut the skeleton for the last layer of this endless piece! The end is in sight!
(Now that I think of it, the above outline kinda looks like the door to the afterlife from "Beetlejuice.")
I plan to bring the piece to Artfest in two -- two! -- weeks, and you know how these things need to set and air out for a little. Plus I'm factoring in whatever rain we'll get during the coming days. Dampness always slows down the setting process.
Also need to add one, maybe two finishing touches to the central figure. 
Projects expand to fit the time available...

You can see more work-in-progress photos on my Facebook fan/friends page. Go look!
