Shervone Neckles

Artist

Shervone Neckles
I draw on my Afro-Caribbean American identity and its traditions by using multiple media to retell and reconfigure stories of history, mythology, and personal experience. Through textiles, assemblage, printmaking, sculpture, and installation, I awaken embedded memories from objects and materials. The sacred and scientific imagery I use is inspired by Afro-Caribbean instinctual ways of knowing and Indigenous wisdom. My narratives bridge history and the present, life and the afterlife, mythology and the real, and seriousness with play. This gesture of remembering honors and makes visible ancestors that might otherwise be lost or forgotten.
