I weave together cloth, objects from nature, unconventional materials, and the weight of memory.
My ritual of hand-stitching, binding, beading, and weaving to create visual narratives is an act of love—a way to remember, honor, and celebrate the resilience of those assigned a lifetime of oppression and then dismissed into erasure.
I uncover stories hidden within slave auction notices, plantation records, and other archival documents to create artwork that brings to light buried memories. Through this process, I am honoring my own enslaved ancestors.
Embedded with archival and family photographs, text from historical documents, slave-era textiles, amulets, and objects from nature, my pieces are ritualistic vessels, holding stories of lost and forgotten people.
