My Artist’s Statement in Pangea’s Garden…

My artwork takes a critical view of cultural, political and erotic perspectives. In my work, I reconstruct the American dream and fantasy images that are part of our childhood and adult culture. Having engaged subjects as diverse as black women’s rights, spirituality, African-American liberation and African culture, my work reproduces familiar visual signs, arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces. 

Check out my work as well as the rest of my statement in Pangea’s Garden and let me know what you think. I really am curious.
