I had the pleasure of immersing myself in Clifford Ward’s “I’ll Make Me a World Prologue” at Artworks in Trenton curated by Addison Vincent. It’s a prologue for Ward’s upcoming show at Grounds for Sculpture curated by Noah Smalls and opening May 18. A journey towards afrofuturism filled with pride.

My bipolar neurons are flourishing at Mercer County Community College @gallerymccc Stop by and visit them in person. DM me fora visit.
Thank you Mercer County Community College for giving me this opportunity to share my “Community Care Zine” workshop with you. Thank you for sharing your love, care, and creativity! Let’s build community together!
Here we go again! I remember when these solidarity signs popped up in 2017 after the first Trump administration. Now I’m seeing them again. (I saw this one yesterday in Hopewell, NJ.) Don’t stop! We should always be in community with each other, not just during challenging times.
“Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always,” and “Hope with Humor: Works by Jaune Quick-To-See Smith from the Collection” opened at the Zimmerli Art Museum @zimmerliartmuseum at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. Jaune Quick-To-See Smith,RIP. Thank you for all you shared.
Resolving this week’s sculpture at Mercer County Community College as an Artist-in-Residence. What do you think? What do you imagine the narrative to be?
Exciting! Thanks for sharing!
What if you drive a Prius?
