Description

Exhibition: April 1 - 5, 2025
Reception: Friday, April 4th, 6-8p

I connect with water as a divine being. Vast bodies of water evoke a sublime experience akin to a connection to a god or goddess. Using this as a catalyst, I engage in different mediums to speak to different narratives around water.  I construct work based on ideas of healing through purification. I take 'snap shots' of water through the use of cyanotypes and in turn, honor these moments as sacred objects. I paint with a vibrant, jewel toned, saturated palette that still holds restraint. I think about the gesture of the body as an act of storytelling. Through poses, I create narratives that dive into moments of suffering. These figures, hunched over in sorrow and grief, are in a state of limbo. They cover their faces in shame. Their eyes never meet your gaze. Intimate moments are put on display for the consumption of the viewer. I engage in mythologies both crafted and historically grounded. Histories such as the Middle Passage, the 'Black Atlantic', and The Door of No Return, amongst others, are interlaced into this series of work in addition to personal ambiguous narratives. Through these mythologies and histories, I search for healing, reinvention, and liberation.
