Something Glimpsed Through a Parting in the Clouds is a body of work formed around an initial desire to both explore and further develop a sense of spirituality that is more aligned with my values, sense of self, and way of moving in the world; a spirituality which relies on and works in tandem with my art practice. 

Considering diasporic connections to culture and spirituality on both a personal and a general scale led me to center ideas of physical displacement and destabilization through the creation of an in-between realm, de-centering connections to land as a locus of spirituality. As I moved forward from the proposal experience, there became a need to more closely examine and incorporate imagery and making processes that evoke a sense of spiritual communion for me.

 With this work I sought to place tactility and material involvement as a more tangible spiritual practice which then culminates in a representation of this ambiguous spiritual realm and a collection of ritual objects.
