Hi Friends! My name is Jordann “HONEYDIP” Dominique, as a Non-Binary Black artist, I value creating a safe space of communication for the Black Community using art, expressed through Mixed Media sculptures, paintings, and textiles. I create works of art based on moments in time where Black and Queer voices need to be heard the loudest, while often putting emphasis on the normalization of having intentional conversations about gently healing Black trauma through self expression, vulnerability, and communal love.
Recently, I've ventured into the fusion of mixed media and stop-motion animation, an exploration that aligns with my passion for crafting spaces. This new chapter feels intentional, allowing me to construct my own world within the broader context of our vast reality. As I grow and accept the challenge to expand on my creative journey, my aim is to make a lasting impact on the mixed media and stop-motion animation community. I aspire to diversify this space by infusing it with my unique perspectives on the intersectionality between Race, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity, particularly within the Black Community. Through my work, I hope to leave a lasting mark and contribute to a more inclusive environment.
ARTIST STATETMENT
The Black Queer community carries a history that is undeniably complex—one shaped by resilience, adaptation, and an unshakable ability to transform pain into power. While trauma exists, it does not define us. We are more than what has happened to us. Through creativity, communal care, and self-expression, we have found ways to reclaim joy, nurture our spirits, and build futures that honor both where we’ve been and where we are going. Strength, in our case, is not just about endurance—it is about reinvention, about turning struggle into something that nourishes rather than depletes.
The intersection of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation shapes the way I move through the world, but it does not limit me—it expands me. As a Black, Non-Binary Woman—emphasis on Black before woman—my existence is layered, fluid, and deeply rooted in self-discovery. For too long, we have been told who we are allowed to be, our emotions flattened into narrow stereotypes that strip us of our full humanity. But true freedom begins with self-acceptance. The more I embrace every part of myself, the more I am able to move through the world with clarity and purpose. We are complex, feeling beings with the right to experience joy, softness, and introspection just as much as we experience strength and resilience. My work is a reflection of that reclamation—a space where I give myself permission to exist fully, outside of imposed limitations.
My artistic practice is a reflection of my ability to wield any medium that builds texture, form, and depth—both physically and emotionally. Layering vivid colors create a sense of childlike wonder, but beneath the surface lies a duality of light and darkness. My art is an open dialogue with myself, as if the pages of my personal journal have manifested into tangible form. While some works are created with healing in mind, they come alive through connection. I don’t seek to control the narrative, but rather to create a safe space where communication can unfold organically. When viewers engage with my work, we share a moment of recognition—a mutual understanding that is both revealing and, at times, unsettling. Vulnerability requires courage, and I continue to challenge myself and others to embrace it. My work serves as a mirror, offering comfort and validation: I see you, just as you see me.
As a mixed media artist, I find beauty in what others discard. I am drawn to lost treasures, reimagining and reshaping them into something meaningful. This process mirrors the journey of healing our inner child—learning to release the past, embrace the present, and manifest the future. Creating has become my spiritual practice, a sacred space where I can express myself freely and unapologetically. While trauma is part of our story, it does not have to define us. We have the power to transform resilience into self-love, to reclaim ourselves piece by piece. Through my work, I hope to radiate comfort, love, and support, creating a space where healing through self-expression feels not only possible but inevitable.
