Billie Ocean’s work is featured in Room 3: PROTONEMA of Domestic Demo, a five part exhibition curated by Muzae Sesay.

PROTONEMA Synopsis: A meditation on shedding, growing, & releasing. Releasing the smudges of love, sex, history and its ties to the present. A cleanse to the mental tongue for a better future, a future less reliant on past codes that no longer work. As we molt from old cocoons, new codes drip into the mouths of our wide open pupils. Falling inwards and upwards as our fingers caress everything in between. A reboot to our internal and external system(s). Especially in lieu of the now*

Bio: Billie Ocean (Laneya Billingsley) rinses your heart in the palm of her hand and powders sugar over your melancholy. Billie’s conceptual video and photo work pushes the boundaries of storytelling by spewing the subconscious into the conscious, giving sight to feeling, breath to thought, and retrieving power where it was lost. A spiritual-emotional full sensory experience. Her bubblegum afrofuturistic work blends millennial aesthetics, horror, fantasy, and asmr into unforeseen worlds to reveal beautifully mysterious truths that bite and soothe at the same time, pulling you inward towards the places you neglect.
