Creates work that engages with space theory and land development, sculpture and performance. Drawing on interest and training in urban planning and preservation, redeems spaces that have been left behind focusing on the possibility of the “life within things.” Known for recirculation of art-world capital, upturns art values, land values and human values. In all aspects of work, contends with the notion of Black space as a formal exercise, one defined by collective desire, artistic agency, and the tactics of a pragmatist.
