I am an English-St.Lucian, transdisciplinary Ahhtist and Qurator, born, living, and working in the regenerated east-end of London.
I explore themes of multiculturalism, unity, and resilience, negotiating variant ephemeral (and durational) activity.
I limn sustainability through my work.
I dance across drawing and painting, moving image, installation, text, sound, and sculpture, generating new relationships between process and form, inviting others into new ways of perceiving and connecting, entailing a deeper synthesis of experience.
I gesture towards and through scintillating Blackness, Queerness, and Faith, thawing frozen intuitions.
I find more artful ways of living through experimental collaborations and collective exchanges across cultures, identities, and experiences.
I value the privilege of being humane, exploring and embodying this dynamic in socio-political and environmental relations.
I value art that reveals alternative ways of living, and activism that establishes new practices for self, other, and environment to thrive together.
