Blacktivity (2025) is a meditation on Black movement, Black making, and Black presence as an active force rather than a passive condition. The title intentionally merges Black with activity, asserting that Blackness is not static or singular but constantly in motion — thinking, building, resisting, improvising, and transforming. This quilted wallhanging honors that energy through rhythm, layering, and deliberate disruption of linear order. The repeated diagonal movement evokes walking, marching, migrating, and returning, gestures that have defined Black experience across generations. There is no single point of rest; the eye is asked to move, to follow, to stay alert. In this way, the composition mirrors Blacktivity itself: constant engagement with the world, even under constraint.Color plays a critical role in the narrative. Earthy browns and deep blacks ground the work in ancestral memory. Twisted log cabin blocks are made with more than 130 individually sewn contrasting Egyptian hieroglyphics and cowrie shell print pieces. Hand stitched mud cloth pattern on borders. These contrasts speak to visibility and invisibility, how Black contributions are often embedded into the structure of society yet rendered unseen. The work insists that making itself is an act of resistance and affirmation. Ultimately, Blacktivity is not about spectacle but sustained motion. It honors the everyday acts, thinking, organizing, loving, and remembering that keep Black communities alive and evolving. Approx 49” x 22”  Ready to Hang
