MY RECIPE FOR CREATIVE PROCESS
1 pound of flesh and bone
1 pound of spirit
1 pound of psychic energy
1 pound of respect and appreciation for my ancestors
1/2 cup of unearthing the hidden stories behind what we have been told is true
1/2 cup longing for Home
1/2 cup of Archival Material
Archival material, foraging, and provenance are strategically crucial to the creative process. An aged blend of seven girl ancestral voices that have time-traveler wisdom but stumble through this plane as child-like spirits A pinch of ideologies of traditional history, culture, and science a balance of Catholicism and Afro-Indigenous religions seasoned with Robert Farris Thompson’s work and the writings of bell hooks
In creating parafiction, I see myself as a catalyst for healing and drawing attention to significant Black navigators, both historical and ancestral. My performance drawings are cartographic, vibrational readings that interpret time and space. In all of my work, there is always the impulse to search for home and connectedness to the human experience.
