My work celebrates the beauty of my African American and Indigenous matriarchal heritage. By utilizing the intricate and meditative technique of peyote stitch, the meticulous practice of lace crochet and the boundless language of abstraction, I explore how tradition becomes both a vessel and guide for preserving memory across generations.

The peyote stitch, with its rhythmic precision, echoes the ceremonial significance and storytelling of Indigenous craftsmanship. Crochet mirrors the tender labor of creating connections--both familial and spiritual. Abstraction allows me to transcend literal representation, offering space for gentle interpretation and intimacy, where history and memory intertwine like threads in a tapestry.

In honoring the lives of matriarchs who have shaped my lineage, my art becomes a means to deepen bonds, even posthumously. Each bead, loop, and gesture is a conversation with the past, an invocation of resilience, and reflection on how we carry our ancestors forward.
Through these time-honored practices, I aim to reimagine memory as something living--a continuum that bridges loss and legacy, allowing the essence of those who came before to remain vibrant and soft in the present when the past did not allow.
