"The Temples of My Familiars" series is about the intersections between my identity, the diverse visual languages in my artwork and the narratives they reference. I chose the title because of the distinct visual reference my sculptural geometric-like renderings took on once I inverted them. They became temples, a place of spiritual practice and sacrifice in which I could place my familiars —my visual languages. A place where they could be re-rooted, re-formulated, and take on a new life.
