MessageCollection: ...the land knows the truth
These are abstract landscapes/seascapes of Charleston painted vertically to capture a portrait of the memory that still resonates upon and within the land. My goal while being there was to create glimpses of my collected experiences on to the hand dyed indigo surface. Whether it the sunset dancing over the marsh, the vibration of long meter from the plantation church house, the waves of the ocean collapsing onto the shore, or the blue fingertips of indigenous black people, and the beautiful ebony complexion of Ben-yas.
