the beginning… my favorite part
everything seems possible and the threads of connection are just barely starting to show themselves.
At the beginning, I spend a lot of time drawing, painting, imagining, and (i wish less often) buying/collecting objects. the visual component of the work is hugely crucial for me.
here are some preliminary paintings i’ve done for the set inspiration for Hot Wings
and some amazing finds from Scrap (a decoy deer and waves of tiny birds)
how will these all be put together??? we shall see…
please don’t be jealous of my deer, she loves you.

Inspired by ancestral, community-centered, and spiritual relationships to land and plants, [and then we must be] by Audrey Johnson is a research and ritual project honoring Black American practices with land and plants through the modes of food, farming, rootwork, and magic. The work honors the practices that get passed down through recipe, spell, and story, as well as the memories active and activated in the body, plants, the land (soil, clay, mycelium, strata), and in spirit.
