Artist Statement:

I draw with my Grandmother’s thread, the continuous line of my path as I journey through a world that seems familiar but is not. Here my drawings are my way to navigate the social condition of my time in my constant endeavor to measure the standards that determine my worth through a variety of drawing processes.

My imagery focuses on the entanglement of body, time and movement which carries a universal theme of quantum remembrance and the repetition of the physical world that I live in today. Questions posed at a time of racial trauma, death, attempted coups and an insurrection, questions of gender freedom, parental rights, and the rights of women to be able to make decisions about their own health stripped away, yet again, have me realizing, yet again, that this has all happened before. I see it as an overlap rather than a deja vu, and that I am grounded in my past and collective experience of my ancestors stored in the thread of my DNA as I move forward through my future experiences.
