Museums are my favorite third place. A few times a week I find myself at the Oakland Museum of California, walking-distance from home, practicing the ritual of getting lost among the natural, art, and California histories. \
\
One Sunday in January, however, I happened upon a series of fortunate events that deviated from my usual milieu. It started at home on the museum’s event page—Register here for an online study group hosted by The Church of Black Feminist Thought. 

Ten minutes later I joined Zoom and entered a collective dreamspace. Together, we conspired in practices of liberation, including an exercise where everyone chorused “practice another way to breathe” (Alexis Pauline Gumbs, *Undrowned*). Some on the call sang, others buzzed. I whispered. At the end of this virtual communion, when I craved further inspiration and physical connection, I knew which well to return to. \
\
Twenty-minutes later I was at the museum standing in front of my favorite piece—Mourning Wreath by local artist Angela Hennessy. The nearly-three-meter ring hung alone on a wall painted black. Its tangled weave of synthetic and Angela’s hair, chains, gold leaf, and paint knotted an ecosystem of tradition, power, Blackness, and grief.\
\
I scanned the accompanying QR code to listen to Angela’s “[Mourning Meditation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AZVYj4aRc4&t=36s)”. Her voice felt so personal and intimate through my headphones: “Grieve on the daily. Make time every day to grieve…breathing in and breathing out, breathing in and breathing out…” As her words swelled, I matched her grief with my own. I practiced another way to breathe.\
\
Moments like that Sunday—sparked by random curiosity, rooted in community, and experienced at museums—are what drive me in exploring art’s relationship to truth, history, and the natural world. Conceptual installation artist Mark Dion calls it the ability “to blend things more critically”. (He [references](https://theoaklandstandard.museumca.org/sites/default/files/The_Irritated_Cloud.pdf) the Oakland Museum, of all places).

Uncommon Archive 02

For almost forty years, my grandparents ran a supper club in Detroit, a stop along the Chitlin Circuit that brought healing and rhythm and blues to the Black community. While I knew this was a big part of their lives, a place my mother grew up in, it always seemed like a place that existed in memory. Neither of my grandparents is big on sharing or taking photos.

What started as a night watching the [Searching for Sugar Man](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/searching-for-sugar-man-2012) documentary turned into a month-long archival of a piece of family history—searching in newspaper archives, magazines, and more.

Presented as a scrapbook with handwritten notes from family members. Select images below

95% of everything in this apartment was thrifted, repurposed, or created by me. We started with an empty space.

I spend a lot of my spare time on eBay and Craigslist.

Currently, I take item wishlist requests from family and friends and call them when I see a good deal.

My dream is to have an interior design practice where I help people reimagine their spaces using local, conscious brands that invest in community self-determination.

Professional photos coming soon!
