Artist Medium: Mixed Media; Paper
Statement of Work
Artist Statement:
These days, I write mostly poetry, which explores culture and heritage, identity, aging, body image, mental health, language, memory, and relationships (especially familial ones) in relation to the diaspora BIPOC experience. I don’t have a particular medium I work with. If my poetry is printed for display, it’s on paper. I’m also interested in having my poetry displayed as sidewalk poetry or in art galleries, if ever given the opportunity.
