Statement 

I am a sculptural fiber artist, redefining my use of portraiture through wool to create soft sculptures that speak to geographical histories, womanhood, spirituality and community, in relation to the body. My work exists figuratively, in full or often fragmented forms, and is offered in the form of traditional sculpture, installation, performance, video and collaboration. Inspired by West African masks and Yoruba ritual practices, these needle felted and fiber based portraits morph into a form of storytelling that re-interpret who can be worshiped, challenge archived histories and narrate Black stories, experiences and memories.

My work has, and will always involve a visual coded language that translates to, and is inspired by African diasporic communities- pulling from the culture and history of specific spaces where we exist/existed.
