My work is a reflection of reality in a playful dream-like state. As a daydreamer, I enjoy the present where I can take in the world around me. Many of my works are based on my own experiences with a twist of surrealism; as the illogical and unusual best express my thoughts. My work includes printmaking and graphic design. My Printmaking is organic and gestural as compared to my graphic design work, which is tight and polished. I have grown to learn and appreciate these differences from working closely with both mediums.
FAITH (Eleisha Faith McCorkle) is a fine artist and cultural producer whose work unifies the notions of resilience and reconstruction. FAITH uses storytelling and the process of collage to communicate the layered multidimensionality of the Black experience through creating large-scale scrolls, cooking and sharing soul food, and curating immersive experiences. FAITH’s work serves as purposeful interventions as Blackness is investigated and venerated through space, food, power, spirit, and magic.
