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: St. Felicia needs a halo

Work-in-progress: St. Felicia needs a halo

Earlier this week I touched up a few edges for St. Felicia... here's roughly where we are now.

If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen my faux holy woman (faux-ly woman?) in two of her saintly aspects.

She bears a sword, plus a shield emblazoned with seven-league boots -- appropriate for the patron saint of farewells. Next step: I'm going to set (each of) her on a pedestal and connect her to her "halo."

Still working on the color, but I'm much closer to done... maybe even by next week. Send concentration and studio time vibes this way!
