As an anti-disciplinary artist, I work primarily through sculpture at the intersection of sonic performance, land installation, and expanded cinema. My work explores the im/possibility of the Black body and its entanglement with photographic optics. These investigations are guided by a sustained interest in fugitivity, particularly as it relates to Black subjecthood. Drawing from queer rave culture and carnival practices throughout the West, I use masquerade and spectacle, often through satire, to interrogate systems of hypervisibility and invisibility.

​

My practice as a DJ is central to my inquiry into the art object as a vessel of cultural representation. It highlights the tenuous relationship of a nightlife culture based on rapid change, or extreme cultural velocity. My research into atmospherics, lighting, and sound systems within nightscapes such as clubs and raves is foundational. These technologies are agents of movement, inciting dance and transcendental states across collective bodies. While this movement is not identical to a diasporic mass movement, it resonates with how I understand displacement, embodiment, and the role of technology in shaping or capturing these experiences. I am also drawn to how language is repurposed in these spaces, such as the siren, which can signal urgency and trauma, yet, in a club context, becomes a cue for climax or transcendence. This paradox, where tools of distress are recontextualized for embodiment, feels central to my practice.

​

My process has evolved from digital, site-specific, and performance-based work toward more installation- and object-focused practices. It spans from an ongoing archival gesture of scanning and documenting dancefloors after nights of transportive dancing, to large-scale mark-making, drone footage, animation, improvisational sound performance, lighting systems, and a committed metalworking practice.I place no limits on the tools I use—they all contribute to creating a sense of belonging to the Blur: a space that reflects both the fugitive condition of Blackness and a perpetually transforming materiality.
