The heart of my artistic inquiry is an exploration of identity through a blend of memory, history, and cultural narratives. My work explores my relationship to my family, with broader interest in African American migration and labor economies in the midwest. My practice bridges my experiments in woodblock printing with the fluidity of painting and the precision of drawing. This convergence of mediums realize works where woodblock prints become the source material for layered collage, then spray paint, and colored pencil. Recently, the addition of wooden sticks enveloped in Japanese rice paper introduces a bas-relief motif, furthering the implication of three-dimensional space. My practice proposes a new conceptual space to consider notions of identity as both constructed and fractured, self-determined and fragile.
