Artist Statement

Where Ends Meet: Our Daily Bread series explores concepts of religion, consumption and survival through the use of obscured family photos ingrained onto the surface of sourdough bread.

Through the physical act of printing obscured personal family photos onto the surface of leftover sourdough bread I explore concepts of religion, consumption and survival in the print series Where Ends Meet: Our Daily Bread.

About The Artist

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.
