Albert Chong

Cousin Shirley - Albert Chong

One of my faaaaaaaavorite artists is Jamaican mixed media artist - Albert Chong. I was first introduced to him in 2002, at the African American Museum in Philadelphia. The museum displayed his color still life photography series (seen below). The pieces spoke to me - so much so, that I attempted to recreate his vision by photographing my own color still life at my grandfather's birthday party some months later (see below). I love the simplicity of his use of mixed media - black & white photos against vivid colored flowers is breathtaking. Meet Albert Chong.

Welded Furnishing

My grandfather (Ompa) was a skilled craftsman - a welder. He designed the most beautiful wrought iron gates & furniture that can be seen all around the city of Philadelphia.

These modern pieces of welded furniture by Johnny Swing remind me of my grandfather's work. I'd love to own one of these chairs! They are incredibly chic works of art!

Photo Booth Files

This stop motion video never gets old! I absolutely love it! Its from the 2009 Roots Picnic. There was a photo booth set up backstage by photographer, JJ Tiziou. Our candids were later turned into this fun stop motion video.
