Imago

Winged figures at architectural scale.

Imago is a series of winged figures at architectural scale — Black feminine forms emerged into their final, fully-realized stage, framed by shells, petals, and butterfly wings. The works move from monumental frontal presence to quiet profile repose, each holding a wall as a single inevitable form. Placement and collection by inquiry.

A standing Black female figure with face lifted and eyes closed in a patterned bodysuit, four enormous ribbed iridescent wings in blue, gold, and copper opening behind her on a reflective floor with small dark stones at the base.

The final stage does not arrive quietly. It opens.

A frontal Black female bust with closed eyes and coiled spiral hair forming a crown, one hand raised to the throat, a warm gold halo of light behind the head amid gold, blue, and maroon petal-shell forms.

Signature Formats

Every wing remembers the map that taught it to leave.

A monumental heart-form sculpture split open down the center with a Black figure seated within, crowned by a spiked backswept crest and lit from behind by a warm gold glow, the two halves dense with concentric cell-patterns in blue, gold, and maroon, dark stones gathered on a reflective floor.

The heart opens on its own terms, and the light was always inside.

A frontal seated Black female figure in a ridged headwrap framed by two large symmetrical butterfly wings dense with cellular teardrop patterning in blue, ochre, and orange, the legs resolving into pod-like forms.

Stillness, gilded — the body at rest inside its own light.

A standing Black female figure rising from four butterfly wings, the lower pair marked with large circular eye-spots in blue, violet, and magenta, a concentric target motif at the navel.
