My favorite types of art to create are sculptures and abundant installation works that merge a number of different types of media together in constructed spaces. I also love anything that involves mixed media. My work asks: how is black female identity constructed? What are its signs, symbols, icons, and archetypes? I create imagined worlds through merged media, photography, video, film, sculpture, installation, and performance. I use merged media to create new narratives.

I find Inspiration in the world around me, the women in my life and those I’m inspired by - my personal icons, my internal world, my history and memory-- my own stories—for
reflection. I am interested in the personal as political while unraveling the complexities of being a woman.  A woman’s perspective  A woman’s archive  A woman’s collection of things , my things … that hold meaning to her or me  My archive  My perspective 

I would use the $25,000 to move my sculptural works into full production by collaborating with fabricators and accessing resources I haven’t been able to so far in my process. My work reimagines objects to explore personal memory through transformation and identity. This funding would allow me to fully realize my vision sculpturally and produce work at the scale and quality it requires with new materials.
