Featured in the in the NAAM museum exhibit You’re Not From Around Here, Are You? (Read the backstory here.)

This triptych of altered books is mounted on antique washboards, exploring the American Dream as filtered through a Black and female lens. The series centers on the heart of that complicated dream: owning a home of one’s own.

A repeating image in the center niche unites the three books: a family photo of the artist’s brother, running into their childhood home. This image is layered over other buildings significant to the artist.
