“The Fire Next Time” Acrylic, oil pastel, fabric, glitter, rhinestones, gold leaf, and mixed collage on canvas. 112x 152” 2022 _____________________ Confession: Over the past couple of years I’ve grown a bit bored with the “algorithm”. We always be losing. Nature always be losing. Once you truly understand HIStory, you realize that fool is using the same damn tricks. it’s a loop. A torus. rooted in fear. I learned something from watching Scooby Doo ☝🏾 I can proudly say wit my chest that the paint brush is mightier than ANY sword or bullet, so I started painting my own FIRE azz epics. Guess whose always the winner in MY epics?🙋🏾‍♀️ I’ve pulled the mask off the boogie man. I’m not coming back to solve the next mystery. I’m writing my own. It’s all about perspective. It’s actually quite bigger than “art”. This Saturday in Detroit, there will be a live performance from my favorite band that understands it’s quite bigger than “music”. It’s bigger than #currency. It’s spirit. I invite you to join me on my epic...
