“My task as an artist is to make sense of the networks of consumed resources, desirable space, labor, and class rooted in the displacement of black people in urban locations. My practice is the terrain where city segregation, affect, care, material traces and residue left from everyday objects meets contemporary thinking. I begin a piece where there is a testimony of lived experience and material objects that have traces of everyday life. Guided by thinkers and authors who study urban planning, social and cultural studies my intuition directs my material choices.”
