This is for all the girls with beaded braids, that grew up cheering on the Williams sisters. Daring to see ourselves, reflected in Venus and Serena’s grace and unapologetic prowess both on the court and in the court of public opinion. The Williams sisters are black excellence, personified. And for this, I salute you

Tenuous Threads
I’m pleased to share that one of my new Hair Rope pieces will be included in this show of contemporary work incorporating textiles, fibers, threads and mixed media.
The show description really resonated with me… All of life is connected through networks, systems, fibers, and webs. Communication (visual, verbal, electrical, chemical, and kinetic) enables an exchange of information amongst all life forms. Tenuous Threads alludes to the delicate lines that bring us together and sets us apart; that joins us yet repels us.
The opening reception is Thursday January 26th, 5:30- 8:00pm. I hope to see you there.
Exhibition Dates: January 24th- February 11, 2023
