I’m the 2023-204 Discover Space Invitational Artist
I am excited to share that I am The Delaware Contemporary’s 2023-24 Discover Space Invitational Artist. Workshop and artist talk schedule to follow
Free Your Mind; will be installed in the Discover Space, The Delaware Contemporary accompanied by seasonal programming to drive audience engagement utilizing multiple modalities to interact with this project. Visitors connect and find meaning through active experience.
Free Your Mind is a collection of personal narratives. Participants are invited to share a personal experience with implicit bias to release this story from their personal narrative. Shared statements are later converted from text to speech and played back in the installation environment. Motion sensors trigger recordings and text projections that intensify as participants move closer toward the blanket of ribbons.

Blackity Black Blanket Installation in Print
I’m tickled pink!
My installation work Blackty Black Blanket will be included in 2023, Surface Design Journal’s Eighth Annual International Exhibition in Print: Lasting Impression selected by Guest Juror Lorna Hamilton-Brown.

I make my own world…
My social practice builds community through conversation about shared experiences… via story ribbons tied to a net.
Free Your Mind focuses on exposing microaggressions. The community is invited to share a personal experience with bias to release this interaction from their personal narrative.
So far more than 5000 story ribbons have been collected.
