I Am My Hair; reflects on politics and mystery of black hair…
Who Am I As an Artist?
I am an artist, craftivist and community builder.
I work lives at the intersection of memory and textile.
I prefer used and found fabrics and recycled materials that have object histories.
I am drawn by the ability of fiber and handwork to build communities and increase awareness of social/political issues.
Making Twilight Off The Bow
I invited friends to my studio to wrap yarn, recycled sari thread, ribbon onto cotton rope.
5 people imbued their essence and became a part of the rope, as we discussed the trials and tribulations of our hair.
Finding a common denominator amongst us all, HAIR.
FIBER 2020
McCarty Just dropped off my piece, Caribbean Friendship Bracelet in Connecticut for the FIBER 2020 show. This exhibition will showcase the best of contemporary fiber art and will reflect a breadth of functional and non-functional works that use natural fiber and/ or high tech materials in traditional or innovative ways.
The opening has been postponed due to Corona Virus. Watch this space for more detail on a virtual way to see the show.
