Born in Philly, now based in Brooklyn, @flesh_and_fluid is a Rhode Island School of Design educated artist who began first as a sculptor, using glass, beads, synthetic hair, and other materials to represent the fraught relationship Black people have with the medical industry. She takes heavy inspiration from Harriet A. Washington’s book, ‘Medical Apartheid’.
Doreen’s tattoo art often involves a plethora of African imagery and nature. She intertwines West African Adinkra symbols with protective styles — her tattoos use line art that creates braid-like patterns. Her tattoos are expressive, eye-catching, detailed works of culture and creativity.
