“My mixed-media paintings illuminate a fictional narrative in which “future-sent deities” inhabit a cosmically bountiful world that celebrates and pays homage to ancestral majesty, power, and aesthetics. I’m creating a mythology that centers on Black resistance and utilizes the body as a sight of alchemy and divinity.”
