My work is concerned with the Black American vernacular experience. The work entails collecting found materials, Georgia red clay, and Dutch Wax cloth, by creating a conversation between family, tradition, the spiritual and material relationship between Africa and the South. My process is influenced by the way Hip Hop gathers different cultures through sampling and is charged with an energy passed channeled through the Pan African lineage. The work is inspired by the Great Migration of Black Americans, who left the familiar in the hope of something better.
