I embarked on a journey to interpret my mask figures into sculptural form. Historically artifacts from foreign countries were stolen and placed in museums as artifacts left to be forgotten, I reclaim the narrative of what an artifact is. Through attention to glazes and form, I evokes the essence of an ancestral artifact within a contemporary context. 

“As a muntidiciplinary artist I enjoy exploring diffrent mediums. I have been delving into ceramics, where I continue to explore themes of spirits, masquerade, and cultural preservation.”

“I use art as a way of reconnecting with my Caribbean identity, this has led me to explore themes of carnival masquerade, cultural fluidity, Black identity and the preservation of cultures.”
