Neighbors
"Neighbors” comprises a pair of ceramic bookends featuring two heads peering over a white picket fence. Depending on the orientation, your experience as the viewer could feel confrontational or observant. This piece asks viewers to contemplate whether they are watching or being watched. Which side of the fence do you see yourself on? The books showcased are a selection of Black literature that has inspired me and influenced my work over time. Much of the literature chosen was once considered radical but serves as an honest reflection of my experience as a Black person and woman. History is cruelly repeating itself and we are witnessing it in real-time.
