As a multi-disciplinary artist, Ashanté Kindle (@ashantekindle) creates abstracted wave forms inspired by the textures that occur in Black hair naturally and through a range of styling techniques. These waves exist as a visual language used to celebrate the history and beauty of Blackness.

I don't have many words this week. Really just feels good to be getting back into the rhythm of things with some old things as well as some new. I made work on the beach for the first time this past weekend and it was truly the most peaceful return to my practice I've ever experienced.

I'm also currently assisting a mold making course this semester, so taking in this information has really opened up a new area to explore for my work. I see lots of repetition being explored in the near future. Working on ways to turn my waveforms into actual objects to be turned into molds. There's also something about these forms existing freely beyond the canvas that's really caught my attention too. We'll see what comes next.
