I am drawn to images of the female form; it is the silhouette of women that are of particular interest to me. I see the poise and energy women inhabit in the world, which is so often commodified in popular media. In response to this, I offer counter symbols of women as figures personifying grace and strength. In my work, I explore the use of silhouettes by recontextualizing images from popular culture to use as entry points for deeper conversations on gender, race, and the perceptions of beauty.

“I create silhouettes of Black women.”

In the current body of work, I am focusing on the themes of identity, migration, and displacement in the human narrative by incorporating hand cut patterns, encaustic painted papers that I collage with the silhouettes. ARTIST CV HERE
