Our Struggle
Anderson Gallery
August 18 - October 17, 2023
Reception: September 20, 4:30 - 6:30pm

Capture the Flag continues my new series about race in America. The deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor exemplified what Black Americans already knew about their own history. This time a cellphone video secured a horrific event for the whole world to witness.

In Zoomorphics, I paint my face and body, and photograph myself as creatures inspired by the natural world. The resulting images draw attention to our interconnection with all living things.

Ballast & Rampart
Maxwell Library 3rd. floor
August 25 - January 4, 2023

I was visiting a friend a few months ago and she was showing me her garden. She pointed out a path she had laid using “Sea Bricks”, bricks that had been smoothed down over decades by the sea into oval smooth shapes. She explained that there is a lot of sea brick on the ocean floor because for centuries, ships used bricks as ballast.

Immediately I resonated with the word; Ballast. I understand ballast. A material used to weigh down a ship, to balance it, to ground it. My printmaking practice is my “Ballast”. My art-making practice balances and grounds me.

They surround a large sculpture of the ballet legend and actor Mikhail Barysnikkov created Mr. Wyatt and installed in 2017. It was also donated to BSU by the foundation. Plans call for the installation of two more goddesses that will join Mazu,a Chinese goddess of the sea of Fujianese origin and Ganga,Hindu goddess of the Ganges. The addition of Salacia,Roman goddess of the sea and salt water and Anuket, Egyptian goddess of the Nile will complete the garden.
