Sights/Sites is an ongoing series of handmade mixed media collages that looks at the black female body as a once-colonized mass of land still fighting against the impositions of multiple forms of intersecting oppressions.

​

Prevailing stereotypes about these bodies are examined from alternating perspectives of the oppressor/oppressed binary and pull into focus that point of intersection as the ultimate site of contention.

​

In this series, contemporary print media is positioned to assume the place of the white, male colonizer, in an attempt to underscore the less-than-subtle ways centuries-old stereotypes are continuously perpetuated and forced on a group of women traditionally denied control of their own representation.
