I am a Chicago-born, first-generation interdisciplinary artist whose practice addresses issues of spatial justice by amplifying, mediating, or diverting power structures through solo and collective projects. For over a decade, I have produced a body of work focused on dismantling borders, transcending penal matter (Fleetwood 2020), and transforming places of precarity into sites of possibility. This includes large-scale drawings, sculptures, installations, works on paper, artist’s books, sound art, video, and performance art. My art practice explores the interplay of time, scale, materiality, and touch. Consequently, I approach each idea with audacity and dedication, often leading to multi-year projects, intimate or public engagements, in-depth material investigations, and experiments in proximity. My community-engaged art practice consists of multi-year site interventions that utilize a range of media, including radio. In my work within carceral environments nationwide and with incarcerated groups, I tackle the challenges of our criminal legal system through art by embracing scholar and geographer Ruth Wilson Gilmore's concept that "abolition is about presence, not absence. It’s about building life-affirming institutions." My practice aims to create such opportunities by building bridges, fostering community, and expanding connections through art.
