Dust Print I, 2021

My art focuses on the South’s identity and the enigmatic people—myself included—who have built its culture. Many Southerners, taught to rest their laurels on the finer points of grace and class, fail to see these so-called virtues as vestiges of the region's Antebellum social order. As an artist, I investigate these uncomfortable truths. Through my work, I contextualize questions of privilege, access, and nostalgia within the broader history of the South.
