Victoria explores the wonder and complexity of Black identity, creating sculpture and video works that center the narratives of women and gender-expansive people. She draws from her own life: reflecting on the intersection of her identities, their chronic illness-disability and queerness. Their work illustrates the conditions that reveal how our environment builds and breaks us down simultaneously, making multi-layered connections between clay[terra] and the body.
