I see a parallel between Alice Coltrane's music and the life she lived. We share a connection through our roots, womanhood, blackness and spiritual practice. When I first heard the song Journey in Satchidananda, I felt strongly moved and my spirit resonated with the album as a whole. This song became the seed to create Triadic Transcendence.

During the Covid pandemic, I started looking into the medical skepticism that some black Americans have. Bad Blood: The Tuskegee Experiment is a tribute to the 600 Black American males who were unethically engaged in an unlawful medical experimental operation in 1932. They were injected with the syphilis virus through a spinal tap operation. They were not given any therapy and were used as guinea pigs for forty years to examine the effects of the infection. It wasn't until 1972 that it became public knowledge and the experiment was shut down. This work is in protest of the Trump Administration's decision to withhold funds to honour the lives lost as a result of the infamous atrocities committed by the United States Health Public Service.

I was honoured when Max extended an invitation to create a unique Pate de Verre recipe. With a lot of experimentation and using small quantities of materials that were both affordable and environmentally sustainable, I was able to create a vibrant selection of glass jewellery pieces. 

The book "Pate de Verre: The Material of Time," authored by Max Stewart and Tone Orvik, has been printed, and it is set to be distributed in the United States (in September) as well in the United Kingdom (in October). It fills me with immense pride to say that I am one of the many artists whose work is represented in the book.
