Artist Statement
My photographs are interpretations, testaments, and poems. They are indictments! Not the first, nor the last, in an ongoing debate - the means by which people of African descent will restore our histories and cultures to their rightful place in the world community. They are bricks in a wall of cultural resistance. They are Percussion: “the striking together of two bodies, especially when noise is produced (the sound, vibration, or shock caused by the striking together of two bodies) . . .” I am percussionist. My photography functions as percussion, in an attempt to contribute to an ongoing dialogue, which has the potential to heal and reconstruct - to produce tangible social and economic effect on the lives of people and community.
