Bawo ni,* I'm Moteniola!*

*Pronounced mo-teh-nee-oh-lah
*Bawo ni - A Yoruba greeting

I am a multimedia artist from Detroit who works in design, fibers, and curating. My work examines methods in which a typical woven apparatus can be transformed and molded into a nontraditional shape or concept in order to interrogate the complexities of societal issues and structures including matters of race, ethnicity, and gender. My practice seeks to destigmatize and highlight how these constructs intersect and can be incorporated into a creative practice.
