A Femme Siesta II introduces an innovative fusion of mediums, where black ink drawings meet fine china in a powerful reclamation of traditionally Western materials. The drawing, laser-etched on white china and enhanced with collage elements, presents a dreamlike scene where a reclining figure merges with a whimsical and yet iconic flamingo-headed loveseat, creating a tableau of Black leisure and luxury.
The composition, adorned with gold painted flora, deliberately transforms the formal dining plate - historically a symbol of Western domesticity and social status - into a canvas celebrating Black rest. Collaged plates depict narratives where tea ceremonies, shared meals, and communal gatherings transcend their traditional contexts.
A self-portrait, rendered in fluid black lines, this work captures a moment of unguarded repose. The flamingos above echo East African wildlife while nodding to Wonderland's fantastical elements, creating a space where Black feminine leisure and respite exists not as resistance but as natural right.
