let's work together

 

 

Hey, I’m Kris and I design silk scarves.

The work you see in this space is rooted in everything I have experienced as a Black woman and continue to learn about my African heritage. As a Black American, uncertain of my true ancestry, my art work and meditative drawing process have served as a journey to find a connection with my ancestors.

The line work I produce is situated somewhere between reality and the dreamscape; the safe space that brings us relief during meditation. The tick mark lines are an adaptation of Ichi, which is a scarification of the skin signifying the nobility of a person in Igbo society. The individual Ichi lines symbolize the rays of the sun, hence my main concept - love & light.

Thank you for joining me on this journey!
