Sumando lineas for Pecolia Warner, 2019
A meditation between geometric principles and syncretic values within the African diaspora. Specific influence and acknowledgment is made to Pecolia Warner, a well-known African American textile artist/quilter, born in Mississippi, during the late 20th century. Like many African American quilters, Warner's work had a direct lineage to geometric textiles patters that originated in Central and West Africa. Through tradition and ritual, certain abstract narratives have been passed down as part of the African diaspora. Biological fractals and geometric strategies maintain an important ritual in the African diaspora today.

ZAFA/ A spell working of temporal Geometry, 2018
