I dropped off for some months not because I didn't have shows or work,it was due to what I like to call "Life happening". We make plans, but life occurs and sometimes what life has planned for us takes precedence over all aspects of our existence. We can attempt to fight it struggling with it until we're wiped into submission or we can become like water, allowing it to run its course without any opposition. I chose the latter of those two. I learned and grew a lot from this process. So, with that being said I'M BACK!!!
I'm still on the artistic marathon, which I first started 5yrs ago with my Izms of art brethren Mustafa. I'm not one who believes much in rest and as my sister, who as ascended, Carlleena Person said"dreamers never sleep", so that makes for recipe of MASS CREATION no doubt!
I start with new work, a series of collages and a few paintings. I've been creating these pieces in collaboration with Trustus theatre for a play they're producing called "The Motherf*?!er with the hat". The play was featured on Broadway, it received great reviews. The artwork I've created for this play pulls from the essence of the play itself. The play is truly about relationships, so the artwork focuses on relationships as well. I call the series of collage work" Cosmology of relationships", these pieces depict the relationships we have with ourselves and others. I really wanted to conjure emotion and give my audience imagery they can relate to. I'm known for delivering images that are vibrant, atomspheric and at times coded with messages. I don't want to deliver that type of work, when the play is really straight forward. I wanted to be straight forward as well, thus the "Cosmology of relationships" was created. The play opens the first week of February, which begins my second leg of the Neverending marathon!..Take a look at the series...Gratitude for your hearts and minds being open to these pieces along with my wordsound..."BEYONDER" is on the way!
