Show statement:

The thought of “home” has always been a comfort and an inspiration to me. My work explores this theme as it intersects with both my own and the historical Black American pursuit of full, undefiled citizenship, equality, and Freedom. Growing up my greatest joy was exploring the pastoral landscape of my immediate and extended home. I include these sites in my work to emphasize our connection to the landscape and to celebrate and document the life and memories that inhabit the home of my ancestors. Contemplating on the ephemerality of family histories, my work combines elements from shared cultural narratives with my own familial traditions and lore.

The selections from, "Just Beyond the River" are inspired by Black Folklore, American Slave Narratives and Harlem Renaissance poetry. This work recognizes America's enduring legacies of colonialism and systemic racism that defines our nation’s history, while reiterating the central narrative that emerges from the referenced memoirs - the ongoing struggle for Freedom.

In this series I have incorporated a personal collection of unidentified portraits which I submerge in a body of water and then photograph to create an image layered with various visual elements from the past and the present. By combining powerful words with these found images of unidentified ancestors drifting through aquatic landscapes, this work acknowledges the courage and sacrifice of our ancestors and reclaims their presence, especially those who have been forgotten, excluded or displaced. The bodies of water in which I photograph are deeply significant to me both personally and historically. They include places where memories of joy, sorrow, love, loss, and liberation continue to reside.
