#SayTheirNames
The #SayTheirNames Series sees the artist as an activist, preacher, healer, and prophet, allowing Black people to fully embody their thoughts, feelings, emotions, and images as artwork. The body of work symbolizes one’s sense of duality—Black, American; two thoughts, two souls, two feelings, unresolved strivings, and contradictory beliefs in one’s dark skin, which is held intact solely through its purposeful power. In #SayTheirNames, the works combine historical and contemporary portraits in the foreground and protest images from demonstrations—from the 1960s and Black Lives Matter—collaged on fabric.
The works range in size from 15" x 15" to 40" x 30".
