The Canes is a new series of handmade #collages that extends my #sketchbook practice + deepens my exploration of the sugarcane field as a site of play, self-expression, freedom, + love. Begun in spring 2025, the series builds on visual + thematic ideas first introduced in my 2017 sketchbook.

Was a pleasure to be interviewed by poet Anton Nimblett for Small Axe ahead of Leslie Lohman Museum’s “Plural of He” group exhibition this past March. Curated by @andilgosine.bsky.social, the show honored the queer Trinidadian activist Colin Robinson.
