Artist Statement...
- Kashmir Williams
- Exploring the world through the lens of a camera, leaving everything else to the imagination. Using charcoal and graphite to illustrate whatever comes to mind. My art is one of the things connecting me to my peace, liberating me to express an extension of myself. I find an escape in my art. I can’t bare the silence of a blank page so I use the sketch of my pencil, the careful yet care free shading that illuminates the page with iridescent colors of my choosing to give it a voice, my voice. The irony I found in my art is that the only limits there are, are the ones I place on myself. I refuse to limit my artistic expression.

Clay is just not my medium..
I'm taking ceramics for the first time ever this semester
and this is the first thing we had to make. A pot composed of
hand-rolled coils...
Onyx Dance Troupe
I am the secretary of my school's dance team ONYX DANCE TROUPE
and from time to time they call on my artistic ability for stage props.
This is a stereo I made over the Summer for a competition we did at
Cheyney University.

ART AS EXPERIENCE
So I've been working on graduating on time, and thus far, things are looking up.
To graduate from Lincoln University as an art major not only do you have to enroll in and pass a variety of specific classes but you have to put together a body of work and present it.
My presentation idea?!
"...to restore continuity between the refined and intensified forms of experience that are works of art and the everyday events, doings, and sufferings that are universally recognized to constitute experience."
-John Dewey
So, Im taking the life experiences of one person (myself), and creating pieces that pertain to the milestones and events that happen throughout ones life. My goal is to have the experience a variety of emotions depending on the time in life, the piece, design style, etc.
My pieces?!
