“It took me so long to believe that I was fearfully and wonderfully made. My artist’s focus normally centers around visual imagery and histories that show narratives of black people as less than human, beautiful - less than the way God designed us.This project was a self care project that centers black women as its focus and a reminder to continually see myself and my skin in the highest light”.

"When I think about textiles/coverings, I consider the juxtaposition of softness and strength. Fabrics cover us, they're soft, malleable, but also offer security and we use them to communicate in our dress and living spaces. The surface design of this textile is industrial and structured while the fabric is lightweight silk velvet that shines in the light like metal."
