Process and Experimentation brings together three related groups of work—Line Value Shape = Motionless Movement, Mixed Media: Stirring Up the Colors, and Torn Paper Collages—that focus on how artworks are built rather than what they depict. These works explore how line, color, texture, and material interact on the surface to create balance, movement, and tension. Instead of telling a story, the emphasis is on repetition, layering, and visible decision-making. Marks are added, adjusted, and sometimes disrupted, allowing the process of making to remain part of the final image. Drawing serves as the foundation, expanded through mixed materials and torn paper to test how far a composition can be pushed while still holding together. Within contemporary African American art, this section highlights experimentation as a way of learning through making, where understanding develops through practice rather than explanation.

A Brave New World
Brave New World is a series of charcoal drawings, collages, and paintings that explore the uncertain futures faced by children in the age of climate change. These works imagine young lives caught between destruction and possibility—where survival demands both vulnerability and strength. Layered paper, fragmented textures, and dramatic light shape scenes that reflect the weight children carry as the world around them falters. At the same time, the images leave space for imagination, hope, and the power to dream beyond disaster. This body of work speaks to the courage of a generation forced to grow up too soon, yet still able to reach for light in the shadow of collapse. Click Image Link.
