there’s a place i want to take you
Within this book of cloth cyanotypes, I’ve created a dreamlike map of my experience of black girlhood, and these pages serve as a bridge to my present experience. You’ll find journal entries from the 5th grade, family scrapbook photographs, passing thoughts, music lyrics, and images I’ve taken between 2014 and 2019. I wanted to re-contextualize these artifacts by exposing them to light, creating diptychs, inserting text and illustrations, and binding the timeline with thread.
