My interdisciplinary practice meets at the intersection of cultural myth-ologies, Critical Black Study, and Surrealism as a means of exploring methods in which physical, mental, and emotional states of being exist within and in opposition to the status quo. I work with the notion that society is monstrous to question themes of power, class, and the abject within their social, cultural, and political absurdities. Using the uncanny, I am reimagining cultural folklore and narratives in the context of present day late-stage capitalism to challenge myths around American economic and capitalist prosperity and to shed light on their effects on Black working-class people.

This connects directly to my lived experience as someone who grew up the child of factory workers in the rural South. The result is a process-based practice that involves painting, drawing, collage work, installation, and assemblage. I use materiality and concept to weave futures, archives, and radical imagining into speculative economies that investigate the complexities of contemporary working-class Black life.
