SWING
2024
Mixed Media

Represents the time in the rural South when my stepfather made me sit on the porch swing to confront me about my dating preferences. He looked down and spit a wad of tobacco on the ground and said “Well at least you’re not dating any GD N*** and got up and left. As he walked away, I just kept swinging. The harder and higher I swung away from those vile words of hatred the more I felt free.
