Toi Ramey

A lot of my work that I’ve produced over the past few years have been centered on how identity is established through family. I’ve always captured how I’m influenced by my family, but lately I’ve become heavily entranced by my youngest nephew and the recurring impressions left on him. He is at a stage where his individuality is in flux, and I wanted to explore and document these transitions.

The work speaks on the commonalities of the black experience from one generation to the next. Through the complexities of my past and using my nephew as a conduit, I’m highlighting the parallels of adolescence through portraiture, objects, and familiar spaces. toistoryproductions.mypixieset.com
