Sandman

I’ve been fascinated by storytelling and fiction which made me take up my alias, Sandman, which symbolizes the stories I want to speak to with my words. My work centers on preserving and elevating Black narratives, through printmaking, I use trace monotype’s hazy and textured visual elements to allude to a fragmented memory. My medium is executed by drawing on the back of paper with ink, and the outcome, while controlled by hand, is often beautifully unpredictable like the stories that progress African-American history.
