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.

Happy Rosh Hashanah! Gut Yom Tov!

Aaaand that's pretty much the limit of my Hebrew and Yiddish for this holiday.

We don't do a huge celebration of the High Holidays, for a few reasons: The Boy is just old enough to be interested in why we celebrate, and I'd rather have The Husband take the lead on Jewish holidays since I'm the designated Christian in the house. He's not big on organized religion, and The Boy is just barely old enough to last through a High Holidays service. So tonight will be about family time, a Hebrew blessing before we eat, and a home-cooked meal (which may involve, um, some non-kosher stuff).


If you're celebrating tonight/tomorrow, how are you celebrating? Let me know in the comments. For those not celebrating... happy Wednesday!

Heroes who look like my kids!
