Norman is native to the southern clay of Mineral Springs, North Carolina, which resides on the unceded territory of the Waxhaw, Catawba, and Cheraw people, a land cultivated by calloused palms. He is an Alumni of the UNC at Charlotte as a BFA candidate in Photography and a Minor in Art History and a McColl Center Studio Artist. As an award-winning creative subjugated to LIGHT and image-making, he renders LOVE to explore his southern identity, rural realms, and his spiritual relationship with the Most-high while paying homage to the legacy of Black Gold. The heart of his work is committed to utilizing images to build a rural archive and inform social history, all to creatively solve problems for local charcoal-hued communities through creative reform. With a mission to showcase the resilience of Km (keme) as his “choice of weapons” for reimagining the mythology of self (I am) and for Negro liberation.
