I’ve busy these last few years with various types if projects. One that I’ve enjoyed in particular is the MoFAD Quilt Illustration Portrait Series where I created over 400+ illustrations of people, places & inventions of/by Black people connected to food culture and Black food ways. These visuals were apart of a large art installation that was engineered by the craftsladies of @iamharlemneedlearts
While there way to many people to tag here I like to shout out @drjessicabharris @peter.j.kim @mofad @sarikamin @osayiendolyn @foodculturist @iamharlemneedlearts for bringing this all together and making this experience come to life.
