This thesis documents my evolving understanding of my identity through an examination of my family histories, which I explored throughout my graduate studies in a series of figures in imaginary landscapes. As a Black woman scholar and a second-generation child of immigrants from Martinique and growing up in the Florida suburbs, I am constantly negotiating my space in the southern American landscape. This research addresses the autobiographical discoveries I make regarding the intersections of womanhood, sexuality, class, and how gender roles influence the spaces I inhabit. It elaborates the evolution of thought through figuration, visual symbols, and the abstraction of the landscape. These works are expressed through a variety of media including printmaking, painting, and drawing.
