I Don't Have 50 Stars To Give

This was the first piece I created in my "Grief in America" series when working on my exhibition: When Snowbanks Were Mountains. I approached grief in America like any black woman would. With exhaustion, terror and a bubble of pain that floats around you discreetly but load. I wanted to depict the pride in Blackness, new to glitter it only seemed right. It is the space in-between pride of culture and exhaustion.

We have much to grieve, I heard grief is like glitter.

Exciting news! This will be my first print on canvas. This feels more authentic to my real work and will feel like what I create on as opposed to paper. All prints brought to life by Greenwood Park Gallery.

Each piece will be different in character as glitter will be added to each piece! :)
