View on a Wall
My works are anachronisms; I warp time to seek interstices where we can dream ourselves as one another. Reactivating and re-embodying cultural memory, I respond to epistemological injustices to locate intersectional sites of transformation. Oscillating between reverence and regeneration, I examine spectres of eternal recurrence to understand ways that images and artists become mediums. Echoing the fragmentary and porous nature of diasporic imagination, poetics of precarity resonate across moving image, painting, sculpture, textiles and text. Drawing upon the vernacular, pre-patriarchal, theoretical, fictional, tacit, folkloric and ecclesiastical, my works disintegrate canonical interpretations of art history, hierarchies of knowledge and expectations of artistic labour.
