ABOUT MY WORK :
My work fluxes between research, documentation, drawing using sculpted and woven forms, and working within spaces of community-centered care. This cyclical practice is rooted in my own existence and participation within the commonplace disposability of people and objects in US-American culture, most specifically the housing market.

This cyclical practice is rooted in my own existence and participation within the commonplace disposability of people and objects in US-American culture, most specifically the housing market.
As a personal method of meditation, I recreate self-documented buildings or objects in various mediums repetitively. In these moments of focused making, I’m able to reflect on the larger issues at hand within gentrification and displacement. This smoothing-out process, both physically and mentally provides room to connect patterns to organize spaces of care and connection alongside other people within Philadelphia. My work is an exploration of what has been, what is being taken from us, as well as what we can provide for one another.
