For the past few weeks, I’ve been preparing for an exhibiton at @patchandremington with Mara-Magyarosi-Laytner (@maramagyarosi), Takeisha Jefferson (@takeishaart), and Sierra R. Aguilar (@seastatic). And a special thank you to @s.ayersart for providing such a beautiful space and all her help. 🫶It is such a honor to show my work alongside these immensely talented artists 💜.

The pieces on view are from “A Black Utopia” where the act of weaving and collaging becomes a meditative practice. The show is on view from September 5th - October 25th! by @archivebyamara

Preparing for an exhibition 🌿

Lately I have been working with Cyanotypes on fabric. Thinking of shadows, domestic life, rituals, a mothering of my memories like a child. Taking in the last bits of summer. by @archivebyamara

How a random day looks for me as a working artist!

I have people ask what I do for work all the time and I feel like I give a long drawn out answer. My days always look a little different but I’m grateful for this life I’ve created that gives me time for my practice and an interesting schedule 🌿📷 by @archivebyamara
