What are you most excited about as a resident artist at Hyde Park Art Center?
This residency
gives me the setting and connections to link my vintage stage practice
to its Hyde Park roots, while I focus on bringing technique to concept,
and concept to expression in extending my future-primitif Rhythmistic
Quilts collection. I started this collection in 1989 so it has been a
slow flow.
Where are you drawing inspiration from these days?
I am excited that 2020 is my 50th year of being a "professional visual artist."
How would you define your practice and what keeps it alive?
My practice is
mostly 2D but has been buttressed in the experimental and applied (as
well as within) aspects of creativity, culture, and commerce. This is a
nexus of Rhythmistic Fine Art, Illustration, Indie Black Age Graphic
Novels, Textile Art plus a vocation of Art Education / Art Therapy. I am
trying to expand the narrative of "Black Art" by establishing
"Rhythmism" as a genre.
