"Hold Still"
- Gouache on Canvas (29.4cm x 39.8cm)
- This piece highlights the universal experience that all black people can relate to when being told to "hold still" when getting our hair done. Painted during Black History Month, it serves as a reminder that black history is not limited to just one month, one singular post, or a singular event - "it is the story of where we come from and where we are going".
- Artwork is painted on a stretched canvas, no frame included.
"The Bucket Bath"
- Gouache on Canvas (35.7cm x 68.4cm)
- This piece describes the beauty and joy of the simple bucket bath. After reading an article titled "Ode to Bucket Baths" by Mugabi Byenka, he describes the comforting experience and subsequently helped me reminisce on my own childhood and the importance of this simple ritual.
- Artwork is painted on a stretched canvas, no frame included.
"Carry Me"
- Gouache on Canvas (50 x 60cm)
- This piece describes the simple and joyous nature of being carried by a maternal figure in your youth. To be carried and lifted by your family is something that should never leave you no matter what age, their love and support should be universal and continue as you grow and change.
