Artist's Statement
These images are from a site responsive project in a vacant apartment in Sugar Hill, Harlem, I created in the summer of 2010.
Gold threaded text drawings, embroidered velvet panels, a handkerchief, a rag and other objects navigate notions of home, tradition, desire, geography and identity.
