My journey of discovering ceramic sculpture was serendipitous. While observing African Masks, I began imagining African candles inspired by their forms. This has led me down a journey of discovering ceramic sculpture and deepening my knowledge of scent.

In my work, I use African mythology to create new symbolism and portal to our ancestral memory of traditions that are innate and indelible to the African diasporic experience. In my Ori Series I am in search of symmetry and beauty so often denied to the features that black women carry. From the voluptuous lips to the wide noses, these features mark undeniable beauty yet they hold so much of our identity.

Additionally, I am fascinated with syncretism, the process in which many enslaved Africans hid their traditional religions into the religion of their oppressors, making a quiet and powerful rebellion. As a student of African traditional religions, particularly of Haitian Vodou, although not as a practitioner, I have observe how spirituality is imbued into the day to day, the sacred is brought into the mundane. I call in that sense of spirituality in my Oracles Orbs and the mundane appeal in my Of Kin Series.

Through slab and coil building I search for new forms and motifs, transforming the traditional symbols through my own visions and building a new visual language, especially with my Motif Kreyòl Series in which I have created my own alphabet system that I inlay into clay recalling the keloid tattoos and skin markings of many African ethnic groups.

I aim to build a practice that bridges past and present, material and spiritual, offering new ways of seeing and experiencing diasporic identity.
