Diamond Shorts

Currently I'm working on high-waisted shorts. This piece incorporates a quote from Maya Angelou's 'Still I Rise'. It reads, 'Does my sexiness upset you, Does it come as a surprise that I dance like I've got diamonds at the meeting of my thighs?' Then the inside of the shorts reveals a diamond print on the lining.

Here is a hooded scarf I'm still working on. I'm thinking of printing on both sides, and using a thicker, or doubling the material. This will be in different colorways, as accessories in the collection. Also, I printed on the scarf, skirt, top piece.

exhibit piece

I took some time out to do a piece for an exhibit. It is based off of the above t-shirt design for the collection. I extruded the ridges from a Yoruba bronze head from Ife Nigeria...and turned it into a barcode that reads 27million, which is an estimated number of people who were enslaved.

tag design

finished an iteration of the tag that i'm pretty happy with...though i might tweek the txt on the back later on

i've been working on some prints, as well as designing tags and inside labels for the garments
