Freedom Flight is a mixed media piece with found objects, paper cranes, fabric and contact/tissue paper stained-glass wings. I used the famous image of the young woman at a Black Lives Matter protest peacefully approaching the cops, her dress flowing behind. All of the eyes in the roots of the World Tree were drawn from photos of other BLM protestors. The ancestors are rising…

 

I perform with the Poetry Brothel at Electric Forest, an electronic music festival in Rothbury, Michigan. One year, I made costumes for the elements.

 

Pussy Pockets are the sassiest way to carry your belongings. Crocheted, black velvet-lined, drawstring vagina-topped, rose quartz heart nipple bottomed, these little bags can take it - from your feminine products to your crystals to your laundry change. Message me to request one today - I will customize according to color and size.

 

At the 2019 Electric Forest, I collaborated with friend and artist Gregg Emery to paint this Alice in Wonderland inspired backdrop to our stage. We each painted half of the cast and crew - and each other.

My grandmother was one of my first art heroes. I combined paintings she had done in her life with photos from her adventures around the world.

Everywhere

I was inspired by an Instagram post from artist Jas Bryant and paired her photo with lines from the Alice Walker poem ‘At First It is True, I Thought There Were Only Peaches and Wild Grapes.’

 

I created several dresses for the 2019 Poetry Society of New York’s Spring Gala. My dear friend and fellow poet, Anna Genevieve Winham, graciously wore one of my creations. I made a chapbook poem from the photographs of the event.

 

A polaroid of me in our poetry parlor from my first year at Electric Forest became a poetry painting.

 

I recovered a rocking chair from a neighbor’s trash, tightened wiggly joints, removed old seating/ backing, sanded, stained, sewed and wove. The fabric is from Make Manifest - a fabulous Black-owned business on Tompkins Street in Brooklyn.
