My work is rooted in storytelling through material exploration. I use mixed media, textiles, fiber, sculpture, installation, and performance to examine Black history, ancestry, and identity—allowing materials to hold memory, labor, and lived experience.

​

Grounded in historical and ancestral research as well as personal experience, my practice often bridges past and present. I draw from archival sources, oral histories, and family research, translating inherited knowledge into contemporary forms. Rather than presenting history as fixed or distant, I approach it as something embodied, carried, and continuously reshaped.

​

Black hair is a central material in my work, functioning as fiber, archive, and connector. I pair it with materials such as burlap, fabric, and found objects to create layered narratives of migration, labor, care, survival, and identity. Each material choice is intentional—reflecting the ways cultural knowledge can be passed down through objects, and oral histories.

​

Through my work, I aim to challenge dominant narratives while creating space for remembrance, reflection, and reclamation. Material exploration becomes a method of honoring those who came before me, asserting Black presence, and inviting viewers to engage with history as something deeply personal, living, and ongoing.
