I am creating mixed-media paintings that explore the circulation of the  Black image through Black literature and Black Americana Memorabilia. The recurring themes throughout this body of work include Black womanhood, American history, and the supernatural. I am collaborating with Toni Morrison's novels and mammy figurines to create these works.  Between literature and memorabilia, the link I found is magic. Morrison’s novels feature moments of supernatural or magical happenings, and the Mammy figurines, specifically Aunt Jemima, have her magical pancakes. These works explore timeline, commodification, and desire.
