Description

This original acrylic painting is from my “Space for All Conference” Series. I was inspired to create new word art that reflected my feelings at the time about all that I was experiencing, learning, and unlearning in regards to racism/anti-racism, colonization/uncolonization, and toxic patriarchy.

This painting points to a very important concept in the Anti-Racism and De/Uncolonizing work that points out the impact of your words, deeds, actions outweigh the original intent you may or may not have had. When we harm others, it’s best to clean up our actions by apologizing, validating, accepting responsibility for the harm we caused, and the most important part: to do better in the future. Saying, “That was not my intention” or “I’m coming from a place of love” creates more harm and just may get you that white fragility bingo you’ve been working on!

Acrylic on Masonite 9″x12″ with a hand carved/hand stamped colorful background using acrylic paint to create the pattern. Minimum Price is $50 to cover my basic costs of making the piece and if you can afford more please pay according to your budget for art and heart! It’s my way of opting out of the “Capitalist Model” and my desire to make art affordable.

Thank you for looking at my work <3
