Untitled

My intention is to show that there are more than generational experiences of trauma for African-Americans living in American society where white beauty has historically been the standard of beauty and still very much is. Although this aspect of the African-American experience, which is often and rightfully depicted in certain artwork is extremely important to acknowledge, I wanted to also highlight (demonstrated in the figure's purposeful stance) an equally important facet of strength and power.

Washed Up

I think people without a body exist through their things, I also think looking through people's things can help you learn more about them from their side rather than the receiving end we are all on.

Terrestrial Teapot

My process with sculpting has been iterative; the final work reveals itself over time. My current, more structured approach is to sketch out my ideas, revise them, and create paper prototypes before starting to work with clay. I take the concept assigned in class and try to not follow any script.

My box is inspired by the stressful times of 2020. I designed the outside of my box with clouds to represent calmness and relaxation. I find clouds to be very peaceful and watching them relaxes me. During the stay-at-home orders, the uncertainty and isolation caused anxiety and depression.
