Artist Statement:
 
Divine Masculine (featuring Deshawn Blackwood) focuses on the re-imagining of Black masculinities and identities in contemporary culture. The production and consumption of imagery centred around black men has been narrow and contained. Through my artistic process, I'm offering alternative representations of Black men in a more tender, holistic way.​
