"I paint the interior lives of black women in intimate spaces. My work examines the threshold between personal and political circumstances and considers the possibilities of using rest as a means of rebellion against capitalistic racism. I present black women’s intimate spaces from a voyeuristic perspective. These images of black women at ease to challenge traditional representations of black womanhood. These women are surrounded and equipped with the objects they need to give themselves comfort; in my world, capitalism works for us, and not the other way around. These paintings are an affirmation of our beauty and subjectivity, not our usefulness."
