About The Artwork
This painting was created as a closure to the META series. (The META series paintings were a reaction to notions of color and the history of slavery that had plagued me throughout my childhood and adult life). The feeling that I wanted to convey was that of being told a secret that everyone already knows about. It's kind of like the jokes on you!" We are the viewers, readers, and participants of history but we don't get to write about it. I have acquired a very cynical view of history after working through this painting. This piece has also helped me to resolve a lot of issues that I have had around my personal history and freed me from a lot of stereotypical assumptions that I had. This painting was a labor of love for me and I enjoyed making it.

My work uses painting as an exploration to delve into the internalized senses that are not quantifiable which we use to perceive the world: such as intuition, clairvoyance, and other feelings that lie outside of the physical realm. Fragility and impermanence are a constant in a three-dimensional reality, and these works show those very slippages that occur due to interruptions by the metaphysical world. This speaks to our current age, where representation and reality can be interchangeable, and physicality can be fleeting. History and fantasy, also, can be interchangeable and used to reinvent our identities. I am interested, in particular, how legacies of Middle Passage and slavery can be re-imagined to fantasize alternate dimensions and multiple story-lines ones that may not be in history books.
