About
My work focuses on the Black body; its objectification, exploitation and ultimate rejuvenation through the human spirit. Wood and paper transcend the label of material. In my work, these materials are skin. Skin is weaponized in society. Here it is transformed to an identifier of self-confidence.
Skin
Skin dominates my work. This is because of skins’ role in society. It permeates every aspect of life. Colonial dominance has made this the deciding factor in the makeup of social class. Black skin in particular is treated with an almost mythical lore. Hated and loved, all at the same time.
