My work is driven by feelings of rootlessness, being American born and Caribbean raised. Growing up in New York and navigating culture, visual signifiers of home, and familial memories, I find myself in a similar position as many others: a product of a fragmented identity and the diaspora. I am discovering more about my identity through tracing remnants of my family's past. My work consists of paintings, drawings, photographs, ornate objects, metal, wood, and thrifted fabrics relating to home. Piecing together these different objects and materials initiates a way to talk both with my familial past, and the larger structures that have had influence on that past.

My making concerns class, access, connection and representing histories. My goal is to take these mirages of memories; echoes of the past and reach back to remember. There is a strong desire to connect and repair. A large part of the work is research, combining the ancestral, genealogical, and ethnographic material to unearth my own consciousness to access the people that came before me. All of my work has prompted me to have to address the generational trauma that has found its way through. My history and my Caribbean identity is so layered, so my work and the way I combine objects and materials to understand it is as well. I want to continue to challenge the fragments of our past we have to work with to heal, and establish a connection through memory and making.
