Drawings

My drawing are intuitive one-of-a-kind pieces. They are all expressions of vibrations/frequencies of celestial bodies. My recent series “Dogon/SiriusB/Ancestors” are my interpretations of the energy of the star Sirius B, a star that Dogon people of Mali knew existed prior to the invention of western telescopes. These drawings pay homage to African astronomers and to the enslaved who “read the stars” to emancipate themselves.
