| Each work by kesha bruce lies at the cross roads of American Negro folklore, childlike sentimentality, and socio-political belief. The dialogue created by combining these elements draws a psychological link between these seemingly disparate elements. Kesha Bruce. com is owned and maintained by the artist Kesha Bruce.

| Each book in “Houses Tell Stories" is made out of a small palm sized jewelry box. The inside of each box shows an image of a house, while the inside of the box lid shows a corresponding image of the woman who lived in the house. Each jewelry box houses an accordion-style pull-out booklet which includes images and a text narrative divided into several chapters referring to different time periods and events in the woman’s life. |
