A Burst of Light
I weave as a devotional act, honoring the legacy, knowledge and technology developed by and carried on by people of my ancestry. My work is rooted in landscape, identity, culture, and celebrates the inventiveness, care and love that is shared between people, especially Black Women, through their fingertips, imbuing wisdom and insight, plaiting revolution and building community. This work is an evocation of tradition and a declaration of self love, imaginative expression and visibility, using African American hair styling techniques paired with Victorian Era hair and wire work.
