Right Between the Eyes

My artwork is a dialogue that explores the complicated world of racial identity and the desire to find my place within it as a multiracial individual. The basis of the series emanated from my need to examine the dualities and dark truths of America. My distinctive perspective on a hidden history manifests itself through art that is sometimes sardonic, sometimes somber, but always compelling. I see a parallel with today's perception of race and yesterday's reality.
