Moving towards on-site research handling ephemera, using photography to document objects, informing both fieldwork and studio art making.

Using found materials as a way of exploring histories of readymade sculptures, especially alongside the rich archive of Black artists who have created such objects. By using one medium (photography) to critically examine another (sculpture), my research-based practice raises an inquiry that crosses both media: what are the lost purposes of inventions that no longer function as intended?

I am currently contemplating social living and the lived experiences weaving both historical violence, post-trauma, and the notion of navigating displacement.
How Blackness and the Diaspora have been historically represented across artistic media, as well as what we think Blackness was, is, and could be.

Considering architecture, human intervention, monuments, public art, and regulated superstructures that are created to improve the quality of life in the public and private realms.

Working in an Interdisciplinary approach creating studies through fieldwork, juxtaposing the natural world and the built environment. A practice of observing the challenges of urban vs. rural living.

What is sustainable in community development? Combining ideas of ruins and future design methods.
