I am Black. Queer. Agender. Southern-born. Raised between the South and the borderlands of Detroit. 

Joyful memories of my childhood are clouded by frequent sad and trauma-filled ones. I often find myself chasing a sense of belonging to one place, a frozen moment in time, an identity that isn’t shackled. 

My practice incorporates painting, assemblage, and digital media as a call-and-response to personal and inherited history. The materials are important to the process; acrylic paint is fast-drying and tougher to manipulate, repurposed clothing from my closet serves as a thread between self and composition, and gold metal leaf denotes the fragility and permanence of memory.

My work is a place to stop chasing, to explore, to rest, to sit in joy.

I create sites that counter intergenerational trauma and intersectional oppression, and answer the question, “What would it look like if we were all free?”
