"cyanide & sand," 2023 considers the black mirror in art or the Claude glass. The sand in her hands is transformed into the glass or mirror needed to see the landscape behind her, but also revealing part of the landscape of her self. While looking to spirituality, creation myths, fables, folklore, and other tales and mythology; my fine art focuses on the idea of biomythography. ìThe weaving together of myth, history, and biography in epic narrative form, in a visual style of composition that represents all the ways in which we perceive the world..." and seek to escape it. Utilizing the structures, and textures of printmaking, drawing, and installation; these themes are explored through a personal narrative as a black woman, my observations and impressions of nature, and the cultural relations and stories surrounding animals, deities and nature. Each work serves as the exploration and collision of these visual, mental, and natural spaces.
