Artist Statement: Turning Points

“Focusing on gratitude, courage, and radical introspection has provided me with the space to expand the focus of my artistic practice and creativity.  I often use my interactions with nature, specifically water, as a vehicle for reflection, healing, and restorative practice.  Specifically using water as a subject matter often provides me with multiple pathways for attaining higher levels of personal awakening.  Water is a turning point, a shapeshifter, always evolving out of itself and back into itself.  It is still and in motion, reflective and transparent, pure, and polluted.  I intend for the subsequent narrative created by my work to inspire viewers to willingly engage water and evoke consideration of it as a sacred treasure and catalyst for enlightenment.  My goal is to provide a series of visual devices to facilitate the reintegration of our most important natural resource into our daily living and discourse.”

Filmmakers Desmond Love and Eden Sabolboro illuminate the world of visual artist Senghor Reid in their PBS documentary Senghor Reid: Make Way For Tomorrow.  Watch it by clicking below:
