As an interdisciplinary artist with intersectional identities, I create work that exists between mediums and social norms. I use the wonder and whimsy of fibers and puppetry to connect with other queer people of color who choose to let their imaginations run wild. Working with assorted fabrics, yarn, paint, paper mache, and other craft supplies that were native to my childhood school desk, I weave all aspects of my identity into my work.

At its core, my art is a collection of love letters to my younger self. With every piece that I make, I allow little William to express himself authentically. 

When all the clouds are painted shades of gray

Remember flowers need the rain

When it feels too hard to take

Beyond the shores I see a brighter day

And maybe it’s here to stay

I promise you I’ll take your pain away.
