Nude Me/Under the Skin:
The Awakening of Black Women's Visibility, Part II, 2019

Commissioned by Christie’s for their Christie’s Lates Women in the Arts event, this second iteration of the awakening performance incorporated references to works from a Christie’s Classic Week sale through gesture. Tying to themes in the current series, the performance created a live artwork with used black tights spun web like around a vintage mirror frame. The captivating presentation enacted a funeral ceremony, a laying to rest of all that suffocates the Black woman’s true self.
