Artist Statement.

The principal works in this portfolio are progressions on a trajectory begun in 2004 with Lissen Here!, a text/image book collaboration with Dorothy Mallory Jones (1920-2019), poet, novelist, and my mother.
My intention is to give voice and visage to my antecedents, the creators of the Black Metropolis, and the Chicago Renaissance, who were compelled and inspired by the Great Migration, yet persevered and sometimes thrived in spite of the Great Depression and Jim Crow segregation.
My work transposes the old stories, and wisdoms, through contemporary presentation, performance, and narrative modes, into new forms of experience, and opportunities for perception and comprehension.
