Biography
Through her artistic practice, White endeavors a sensitive exploration as a path to discovering ideas about beauty and femininity. Her compositions originate from a never ending process of evaluating her personhood, embodiment of self, and all that defines her as female. Driven by curiosity, her work investigates themes of sensuality and vulnerability through a personal perspective of her lived experience as a black woman.
Often questioning mythology and traditional artistic interpretations that commonly objectify femininity as something that desires to be gazed upon, worshiped, adored and even collected, she layers real and ancient narratives as abstract drawings, mixed-media, analog collage on paper and is currently exploring installation and digital animation.
