ADORNMENT

In collaboration with the artist Nena Soul Fly and photographer Amanda Lopez we created the 'Adornment' exhibit.  With its intricate, flowing braids and interwoven gold accents, is an homage to everyday queenship of women of color and creates a tangible connection to the divine feminine and strength of women of color for viewers by challenging traditional, colonized standards of beauty. 

This exhibit celebrated the regal spirit and resilience of women of color, braided and adorned in traditional and new school gold jewelry. We felt that it was important to create a space that honors women of color and reminds them of their power, divinity and beauty.

I love design.
It's an intergal part of the creative process. The designers I've collaborated with are exceptional at it. And maybe sometime, I like to pretend I can do what they do...
